REMEMBER

This toy is for supervised use only as your hamster could nibble at parts if not watched carefully.

If you want to make your hideout suitable for unsupervised use, or use in the cage, do not use any decoaration or plastic, and only use materials suitable for hamsters (paper/card without ink).

Tips

Personalise your hideout with your hamster’s name!

Try a different hideout with a different shaped box!
