My Oscar lives in a 80x40 wooden cage. He has a wheel, a place to dig, an adequatly sized sand bath, 2 hiding places, a bendy bridge and some wooden tunnels. The cage we built him has a second floor, which 1/4th is taken by his sand bath, and the other 3/4th are just bedding. I want to add something there, something that he might enjoy but I am not sure what.

Looking for some ideas.

Without seeing a pic how about a cork log/wicker tunnel?

Or can you hang things?

I love the walnut feeders I make for my hamsters to forage from but you could make it with an egg carton if no walnut shells, just won't last as long.

All my hamsters love running along the 55cm long bendy Trixie ladders/bridges i buy from Amazon. They are so versatile. Coconut hides are very popular with them too.

Is Oscar a Syrian or dwarf? My dwarfs enjoy a second wheel, a flying saucer, aside from their upright wheels.
You can make lots of things from cardboard too.

If you post a photo of Oscar and his set up people could have a look and come up with ideas. The thread "Let's see your cages" on the Forum under Housing is a good place to get ideas from as well.
