You could maybe use a tallish plastic food container and cut a whole out at the bottom so she can get in and out and if its clear plastic you will be able to see her

Make sure you don't make it too deep, as I bought one of those digging centre things for hamsters off the internet (you've probably seen them, a big wooden thing with a perspex window and a ladder) and they seriously hated it. Filled it with hay and they couldn't get up the ladders (they were dwarfs though, so maybe that was why) and when I popped one of them in he just kinda sunk to the bottom and freaked out. Couldn't find his way out the poor guy and didn't do much digging. I guess a home-made one might be better though (and maybe it just wasn't just to his personal taste)! Maybe you could salvage a wooden box or something but take a side off and make groves so you could just slide a piece of perspex/see through plastic down? A long piece of wood or mdf in a sock (clean!) would make him a little ladder too and he could cling on easily.

Mine didn't really appreciate the digging box thing, but I guess all hammys are different!

Hay shouldnt be used for hammies Laura, as its sharp and can damage them if they pouch it, as you have found out its not good for digging in either!! Try with some pet safe sawdust or megezorb. This should be easier for them to tunnel and dig in. My dwarf doesnt understand the ladder either so I have to help him get up and down but he likes to go in at the bottom and dig his way up to the top!! Its very cute when he pokes his whiskery nose out and he is all covered in sawdust!! He loves it though!! I certainly recomend then for dwarfs
