      Figure out the hamster’s home base. This is where he’ll be when he’s not frolicking in his tubes. You can connect tubes through some wire screen tops or get him a home that comes with the tube set for secure tube use.

      Decide how much you want him to run around and how much you want to spend. Tubes seem cheap until you buy three dozen of them.

      Arrange the tubes on the floor in front of you in short, fun stretches using common sense. Do not create tall structures that can fall over or high climbs the hamster cannot complete.

      Connect the tubes securely to each other so they do not bust apart and allow your hamster friend to escape. Connect the tube set-up to the hamster's home base.
