How to build a Hamster House 2024 To build a hamster house, gather materials like untreated wood, non-toxic glue, and mesh wire. Cut wood pieces for the base, walls, and roof. Assemble the walls, leaving an opening for the entrance. Attach mesh wire to the sides for ventilation. Create a removable roof for easy access. Add platforms and ramps inside for enrichment. Ensure all edges are smooth to prevent injuries. Avoid using materials like plastic or treated wood, which can harm hamsters. Decorate with safe, chewable items like untreated cardboard. Regularly clean the house and provide fresh bedding for your hamster's comfort and health.
