Hamsters are real nest builders, they always need nesting material so that they can line their hole with it. Making a nest is therefore part of a hamster's natural behavior. Therefore, always give the hamster 15-25 grams of nesting material.
What types of nesting material are there for Hamsters?
There are different types of nesting material available. When it comes to hamsters' preferences, they prefer to choose the softest nesting material. They use the softest material inside their nest. They also prefer to sleep in that. The hamsters use nesting material that is slightly sturdier, such as hemp or grass, as a second layer. They use this to line their hole. Hemp is especially nice because it retains its shape and does not have to be replaced every time you change it. Some hamsters really make a round nest out of this, very nice to see!
Is Natural Nesting Material Good for Hamsters?
It is good to use natural materials as nesting material. For example, synthetic hamster wool is not recommended. If the hamster ingests the synthetic fibers, they cannot be digested by the body and cause blockages in the animal's intestines. So you will not find hamster cotton wool on our digital shelves. The types of nesting material you can buy from us are safe and digestible.
Which nesting material for Hamsters is suitable for summer and winter?
In general, the hamster arranges its own nesting material. It is an idea to offer the hamster different types of nesting material in summer and winter and to see which nesting material he chooses. Some hamsters have a different preference in winter than in summer.
Is hay suitable as nesting material for Hamsters and Dwarf Hamsters?
Hay can also be used as nesting material for hamsters. We have bundled all types of hay in one category and have not placed them with nesting material so that the overview is better maintained. Hamsters make beautiful nests out of hay. They use hay as an outer layer for their nest. They use softer nesting material for the inner lining. All hay types in the " Hamster Hay Herbs and Seeds " category are suitable for hamsters.
