Make things out of toilet roll tubes!
Over the lives of my hamsters I have found that spending money on hamster toys isn't always worth it and that making things out of toilet roll can be more entertaining for your hamster!
The first thing is a christmas cracker:
Take a piece of A4 paper and lay it in front of you with the longest side of the paper facing you. Take your toilet roll and place it in the centre of the paper again with the longest side facing you. Roll the paper around the toilet roll tube so that it is smooth and then any excess where the toilet roll tube finishes - you twist so that it holds shape. Before twisting the other end - fill it with hamster food, treats, sunflower seeds and whatever your hamster enjoys and then twist that end as well. Encouraging your hamster to chew and forage for their food and it also makes it entertaining to watch! My hamster always loved to get one of these and I used them to stop them from biting the bars at night at it was entertainment for them.
