How to Make a Hamster Bed

Hamsters like a nice, quiet area of their cage to use as a bed. They also enjoy making their own bed. As a hamster owner, it is your job to put the supplies that your hamster needs into his cage so he can make his bed.

      Purchase a small plastic of wooden house to place inside your hamster cage. The house gives your hamster a place to build his bed that is quiet and dark. Pet stores sell hamster igloos which are great for their purpose. Your hamster gets a nice bed, and the shape of the house makes it easy for you to keep it clean.

      Place some shredded toilet paper or tissue inside the cage, next to the house. Always use white, unscented tissue to eliminate the additives that could be harmful to your hamster.
