A playpen is a great way to interact and bond with your hamster in a safe place. While we make sure all pups leave our care already used with human interaction, you will need to gain your new baby’s trust and bond with it. We recommend it as part of the bonding process, included in the care package provided at adoptions.
Playpens are also great to provide hamsters with time outside the cage and to allow them to break from the boredom of their own cage by providing different toys, hideouts and wheels.
Recommended Playpens
1. The plastic storage cube panels make a perfect and very spacious playpen. Just zip tie the side together and you have a huge playpen available, where you can sit with the hamster.
2. The Ball Pit is very easy to set up and put away and it allows one person to sit it it. It does come with a warning: it is easy to be chewed through. Hamsters are escape artists an these playpens make very easy for them to escape.

Aspen Bedding is the most common wood- based bedding safe to use. There is quite a variety of brands to choose from. Snake Aspen tends to be a little softer than the one specifically made for small animals, but it’s all about personal preference. Try a few brands and decide which one works best for you.
