Another hamster question?

i have a 10 gallon tank that i keep my 2 syrnian hamster in and i was wondering if i could get toys to hook on the side and like tunnels to go around it
Answers:
Yah you could. I've had 150 hamsters and I always had them in glass cages because it is easiest. Hamster really love if you stick tunnels in their. Yah know what they like the best is paper towel rolls(empty of course) or toilet paper rolls. Because they loves to climb in them and they loves to chew them up. Also and little boxes like pop tart boxes or anything like that.
I use old toilet paper tubes, they love them, and are safe to chew, and they do sell a wheel that hangs on the side of tank,
There is a way, you get toilet papertubes and tie it to the side and they love to chew on toilet paper roles and they like to sleep in tube socks
if you go to any petshop they have wooden houses and tubes that you can just place in the tank, or you can buy those extened tank lids wich has a ramp that leads up the lid to more ramps , also helps ventaltion. but it costs a good 40$
Syrians should NOT be kept together. Also, tanks don't provide good housing because of ammonia build up which can kill them. You should buy a large wire cage and use toys such as toilet paper tubes, chew sticks which can be bought at pet stores, a running wheel [flat surface NO holes], hide treats around the cage to encourage foraging, every few days don't ue a food dish, sprinkle the food around a freshly cleaned cage so they can look for it like they would in the wild. Also get some hidey houses such as the plastic igloos sold at pet stores.
no you have to get the right cage to do that.
um yea u could probally,use like a really small chainsaw but take the hamsters out!
yeh at petsmart or petsco they have little houses for them or if you wanna decorate them like a house there's a mini couch a tv they can sleep in and these tubes that they love playing in;] and a wheel. my hamster loves running when everybody's asleep and it's dark hope that helps!:)
You can put anything in there that you think is safe to chew and he can't hurt himself on. They will play with it and explore it for hours or days. When they get bored of it, just drop someting else in!
just buy a crittertrail at petsmart, you can connect all the tubes you want. Aquariums are for fish, they breed bacteria and mold.
