Talking A few handicraft works of mine

Hey,

I build a lot of things by myself for my hamster, here a few examples:

A little climbing-thing. I used "Ponal"-glue, because its not toxically and qualified for children too, branches and dowel pins. In Germany we often build things with these dowel pins XD







Then i made something from styrofoam and tile adhesive what looks like a rock.

A tunnel from wet toiletpaper. I let it dry on the radiator.

A house with two chambers und a platform, in germany we call it "race course", because the hamster can run 1 meter without a barricade XD

Want to see your works! xD I will search for them, but this will take a while, its hard to orient myself here xD

I found two pictures of a playground, but somehow I doesn't like it much, destroyed it a few days later to get the little tree trunks back and built something new with them (only stairs).

Do you just use branches and logs from your garden? or are they brought?

I would always be worried the wood was bad for them

Why should wood be bad for hamsters? its a natural product. Whats the problem with natural products?

If you are afraif of some parasites or something else when you have wood from your garden. You shoul lay it in the oven for about a hour.

A few are bought, a few are from the garden. But in germany we are used to put wood in the baking oven at 100 degrees before we give it to the hamster. So all parasites died. And sometimes we put the wood in boiled water or even use disinfectand spray before that xD
