Instructions
Spread newspaper on your work surface.
Glue two Popsicle sticks or tongue depressors together by overlapping the ends a bit and using a non-toxic glue. Repeat this with two more sticks. Allow the glue time to dry. This forms the sides of a hamster ladder.
Set the two glued sticks side by side about 3 inches apart on the newspaper.
Form the rails of the hamster ladder by adding more Popsicle sticks with the glue about 1 inch apart. Continue this until the hamster ladder rungs go the entire length of the side sticks. Allow time for the glue to dry.
Prop the ladder up on a brick or a large wood block in the hamster cage. The hamster can exercise on the ladder and chew on it when he is not playing.
