Awesome hamster homes

One of my favourite hamster pastimes is looking at other people's hamster cages. Recently, I found this awesome Ikea Expedit hack, built for a little Winter White fellow called Fred.

While I doubt I'll be able to pull off a hamster habitat to this scale any time soon -- money and space being the two huge obstacles -- it definitely is food for inspiration!

    I had a hamster up until a yr ago. It was syrian that lived for three years, I loved him so much, but then I got my dog (who actually can pull off the hamster looks quite well) looking forward to learning more about your wonderful blog. I love these cages.

      I know many people keep hamsters and dogs in the same house successfully. I myself am planning to have cats in the future, but that doesn't mean I'm planning on getting rid of the hamsters! I just have to find cat-proof hamster cages ;)

    That is an absolutely amazing cage! I have visions of something similar, but small of course for my rat. The nice thing about this one is that it's not ugly and it actually would look nice in the house. Very neat.

      If only I could buy one ready made... And a huge house to put it in!

    Great blog! There are numerous types of hamster cages in various sizes, styles and prices available.Hamsters love to hoard food both in corners of their cages or even in their cheeks (this is why their cheeks look puffed up sometimes), so don’t overfeed them, and take away food that looks stale or hasn’t been eaten so it doesn’t accumulate.With the right care and gentle handling, your hamster will live a happy life in his new home and you and your family will enjoy your new pet! Thanks
