What do Hamsters and Dwarf Hamsters enjoy doing most?

In the wild, hamsters also live underground in beautiful tunnels that they have dug themselves. That's why they really like to dig at our house when they get the opportunity to do so. This is best done using ground cover, but it is also possible to use a digging bucket for the hamsters to dig in. The latter is digging with a play element.

Wooden Hamsters and Dwarf Hamsters like to discover new things?

Hamsters are generally very curious, they just can't resist taking a look! Hide something in the enclosure or in a sniffing mat, the animals will really enjoy this. We also see this behavior in animals in the wild. They spend most of the day looking for food and are actually out and about much of the time. By giving the animals something to explore in their enclosure, you prevent boredom and keep the animals active and happy!

Do Hamsters and Dwarf Hamsters play?

Many animals can really play, such as dogs with a ball or cats with a toy mouse, even rabbits and guinea pigs like to play with a ball, but with hamsters it is a lot more difficult to say whether and how they play. In that sense, hamsters and dwarf hamsters are more serious in their actions. They find it much more important to collect enough food for their winter supply and dig a nice den than to play. However, their curiosity can still tempt them to get started with something. The toys for Hamsters and Dwarf Hamsters are therefore mainly based on discovery.

Why is gnawing a necessary hobby for Hamsters and Dwarf Hamsters?

Hamsters are rodents and have continuously growing incisors. In the wild, hamsters gnaw on different materials, on the one hand to open their food seeds and on the other hand to gnaw on materials to make their hole as desired. In the wild they have a lot to gnaw on, so the animals like to have a choice of gnawing material in our home. Toys that can be gnawed on are popular and highly recommended. Offering gnawing toys can even prevent problem behavior or gnawing on parts of the cage.

Why are foraging toys good for Chinchillas?

❤ Stimulate natural behavior: Foraging toys mimic the natural behavior of Chinchillas , which is to search for food in their environment. Challenging them to search and dig for their food stimulates their natural instincts and keeps them active and satisfied.

❤ Physical Activity: Foraging toys encourage Chinchillas to be active and exercise. They have to walk around, dig, push and pull to get to the rewards. This promotes exercise and helps maintain a healthy weight and good physical condition.

❤ Environmental Enrichment: Foraging toys add an element of challenge and variety to Chinchillas' habitats. It makes their daily life more interesting and prevents them from getting bored in a monotonous environment. This can lead to better overall well-being.

❤ Prevents Overeating: Foraging toys make the feeding process slower and more challenging. This means that Chinchillas have to make more effort to get to their food, which means they cannot eat large quantities in one go. This helps prevent overeating and weight problems.

In short, foraging toys for Chinchillas provide both physical and mental stimulation, help prevent boredom and promote natural behavior. It's a great way to improve their well-being and quality of life.
