Ok, with all the in-depth discussions we've been having I thought we should have a nice light topic.....
I am a very firm believer in walking round *any* shop and thinking like a hamster / rat / chinchilla - no, I don't walk round on all floors and sniff at people to determine their gender ....(
)..... but I do look at any product and wonder about it's potential as a pet toy of some sort!
My favourites so far:
1) The humble storage basket
(mine are from Wilkinsons) - this is the grey upside down thing in this picture. It makes a great hamster-hideaway and being angled at the front Syrians can clamber on top of it too. You can always use it the right-way-up and wire it to a cage to form a shelf too. Very cheap.
2) Wall mounted display cubes
These I also get from Wilkinsons - they are on their website
Here. They make great free-standing shelves and hamsters can play inside them too. You can use the three as a staggered shelf in a tank or cage or just use a couple. I have bought some hooks too to put in the bigger ones so I can hang toys in them as well. Herbert loves them and so do the spiny mice. You can see them in the Spiny Mice tank at the back of the pic here:
3) The Tea Cannister
Herbert sleeps in a metal tea cannister. He loves it and it was a real bargain! He used to use it as a larder but now it's his bed too. You can see it in this pic at the right-hand side - it's pale blue.
(I will post pics of the saga of Herbert's HH at some point too by the way, he loves the cage but I have had to modify it just a little, lol!)
So, does anyone else have any good ideas?
Favourite hamster toy that isn't supposed to be one?
