What is a hamster run and why does my hamster need one?

A hamster run is a fenced-off area where your hamster can run, play, and explore safely. Hamsters are naturally active animals that need plenty of exercise to stay healthy and happy. A hamster run provides your pet with enough space to burn off energy, which is important for their physical and mental well-being.

Benefits of a Hamster Run

A hamster run offers much more than just a place for your hamster to run around. It promotes his well-being and stimulates his natural behavior:

• Room to Move: Hamsters are active animals and need plenty of space to burn off energy. A run provides the ideal place for your hamster to move and play.

• Mental Enrichment: Adding toys and tunnels can enrich the run and encourage your hamster's natural behavior, helping to reduce boredom.

• Safe Outdoor Adventure: With a hamster run you can safely let your hamster outside. Make sure you always supervise and watch out for possible dangers such as other animals.

• Hiding Places: Provide hiding places in the run so your hamster can hide when he feels unsafe, which will reduce his stress.

Can a Hamster or Dwarf Hamster Run Around in a Run?

Hamsters, including dwarf hamsters, are active animals that love to run. The more space they have, the better. A hamster run not only provides space, but also the opportunity to play and explore, especially if tunnels and toys are placed in the run.

Can Hamsters Go Outside?

Yes, you can put your hamster outside in the run , but this should always be done under supervision. Make sure the run is in a safe place, away from other animals such as cats or birds of prey. Also avoid grass that has been recently fertilized, as this can be harmful to your hamster. Provide plenty of hiding places so that your hamster can hide if he does not feel safe.

How big should a hamster run be?

The size of a hamster run depends on the size of your hamster and how much space you have available. The bigger the run, the better . A good size for a hamster run is at least 50 x 50 cm for a single hamster, but bigger is always better. This gives your hamster plenty of room to run around, dig and burn off energy.

What can I put in the hamster run for extra fun?

You can add different toys and accessories to the hamster run to make it interesting and challenging:

• Tunnels : Hamsters love tunnels. They provide both physical and mental stimulation.
• Hiding Places : Provide a hiding place where your hamster can retreat when he needs some rest.
• Merry-go-round : A running wheel is ideal for helping your hamster get rid of its energy.
• Digging Material : Hamsters love to dig. Use safe materials such as paper litter or other natural fillers.

How long can a hamster stay in the run?

It depends on the situation, but your hamster can be in the run for a few hours to a few hours a day . Make sure your hamster always has access to plenty of water and that you do not leave him alone, especially outside. Extra precautions should be taken for safety outside.

Are hamster runs safe for my hamster?

Yes, hamster runs are generally very safe for your hamster as long as you take a few precautions:

• Always stay with them! Hamsters are not good climbers, but they can climb if they want to.
• Make sure the run is sturdy and your hamster cannot escape.
• Do not allow other (pets) near the run when your hamster is running around in it

What is the best material for a hamster run?

Hamster runs can be made from a variety of materials, such as plastic, mesh, or wood. The most important thing is that the run is safe for your hamster . Mesh edges should be tight enough that your hamster can't slip through, and the material should be gnaw-proof for your hamster.

Can I use a hamster run in combination with a cage?

Yes, a hamster run can be a great addition to a hamster cage. It gives your hamster more space to move around, without having to move the cage. Using a hamster run next to the cage ensures that your hamster gets enough exercise and exploration. Letting your hamster run around in the run should only be done under supervision. The hamster should never have unlimited access to the run, but should only be allowed to run around in it under supervision.

Practical Tip: The Ground Cover as a Roof

Did you know that the bottom cover of a hamster run can also serve as a roof? This is a handy tip for hamster owners with escape artists. The bottom cover prevents your hamster from climbing out of the run and provides extra safety.
