(I have started a new thread so i don't hijack the
Let's See Your Cages thread.
Biscotti, Lougarry and Feldhamster - thank you so much. Your info and explanations are so helpful. I am talking about cages like
Feldhamster's.
I am making a Wish List 
Cork furniture: look in reptile sections.
Cat grass.
Grow your own hamster-safe
grasses and leaves.
Dessert bedding (reptile sections).
Moss Feldhamster, do you mean something like this:
terrarium moss or this:
vivarium moss I can't find any 'sheets' of moss but I am not quite sure what I am aiming for!
Hay -use soft hay and source from clean place to avoid extra wildlife (or airtight freeze first):
HC thread and
another HC thread.
Cage layout and design
This is where it gets interesting and cost-free! My first set up had the ladders almost symmetrical but leading...nowhere! Feldhamster pointed out that I could consider 'circuits' ie different routes for Fluff Puff to travel round the cage and to and from his toys. This might be obvious to everyone else, but I honestly hadn't thought about that! I need/want my bridges to lead somewhere. I want extra entry/exit points on and off shelves. I want different substrate depths (and types, in addition to sand and Fitch). I want hideyholes and interesting nooks and crannies.
Does anyone have these kinds of things? If you are in the UK, where do you get stuff from? I looked at some German sites, but they don't deliver to here. I started to rearrange FluffPuff's cage, but it has stressed him out I think as he went to bed this morning and didn't say hello to me
. I'll wait a bit longer and maybe do stuff by stealth but I really like the idea of giving him trails and natural things.
I think I need a new, massive tank cage! My husband says this is like grown-up dolls houses! Lol
"Natural" habitats?
