I used them on top of a shelf or a house roof (to cushion any falls so they don't land on something hard). Or for a bit of insulation on top of the house in winter. Or to keep the shelf clean and dry. I have never had a hamster pee on them. I did have a water bottle leak on one once, and then you can either dry it out or bin it if it's gone funny, and cut a new piece. They are quite big mats and you just cut what you want off them.
It sounds like you don't have a house and your hamster lives in a burrow so not sure how you're thinking of using them.
This is the rodipet one I get usually - easy to cut and not too thick

This is the Hugro one - also good but thicker and harder to cut (but not impossible) - depends what you want really

Thank you for all these tips. I was thinking of using a hemp matt to line a wooden cage. I thought of using sticky back plastic but read on here it is not suitable. I read some people line the bottom of the cage with hemp matts. Is there something else that would be better to line a cage with? I will be painting it with sealant before using it.
