Use smaller boxes, cans, tins, and anything else you can find that your hamster can climb up and down on.  This will provide your hamster with multiple levels within his playpen to explore.  You can even get creative and attach these items together in such a way that you create a maze for your hamster to find his way through.  Make sure your playpen has at least one place where your hamster can hide while he’s in the playpen.  Having a place to hide will make your hamster feel safe if he gets nervous or scared. A great place to look for homemade items is your recycling bin.  Just make sure to thoroughly clean any items you decide to use.  And make sure to blunt sharp edges with tape or padding. The purpose of the playpen is so that your hamster has a larger area to run around and play.  While some hamsters may be happy with a big open space, adding additional items to the playpen will give your hamster some much-needed enrichment.  Place items such as the following inside the playpen for your hamster to play with:  Toilet paper or paper towel tubes.  You can attach multiple tubes together to create a long tunnel. Old shoes.  Your hamster will enjoy climbing in and out of the shoe and using it as a hiding place. Bridges, see-saws, and swings.  You can make your own, or buy hamster-specific versions at the pet store. Wooden, mineral, or salt blocks.  While your hamster may climb these blocks, the real purpose is to give your hamster something to chew on. Use boxes and toys from your hamster’s playpen to make a food puzzle.  Combine multiple items together in such a way that your hamster has to explore them to find a treat.  You can also build a maze with a food treat at the end. Make sure any food you give your hamster inside his playpen is deducted from his daily food allocation.  If you give your hamster extra food and treats while he’s in his playpen, your hamster may get a little pudgy. Even if your hamster has a wheel in his cage, placing a freestanding wheel inside his playpen will give him another view while he runs.  Make sure the wheel is made from a continuous piece of material and not wires or bars.  Wheels made from wires or bars can cause your hamster to get one or both of his feet stuck and could cause serious injury. Hamster balls are a great way for your hamster to explore the big world outside his cage without getting lost or stuck.  Hamster balls are usually large hard plastic balls with a hatch that can open and close so you can place your hamster inside.  Once the hatch is closed, the outside of the ball is smooth so it can roll in any direction.  If you don’t have an area within your home that’s safe for your hamster to explore in his hamster ball, consider making a large playpen and placing the hamster ball inside.  Using a combination of a playpen and a hamster ball will limit the area your hamster can explore, thus making it safer for your hamster and more convenient for you. Keep your hamster’s time in a hamster ball to 15 minutes or less.  Once he’s finished with his hamster ball, put him back in his cage for a rest.

Summary: Add multiple levels to the playpen. Include play stations for your hamster to explore. Create food puzzles for the playpen. Place a free-standing wheel inside the playpen. Put your hamster in a hamster ball.


Give this a tug to break it. Then snip off the two "bad" beads with the melted sides. These pieces will form the body and the ears. This will make a little square. One bead should be sticking up. This is the tail of the dog. You should have one bead in between the the two sets of little squares. This will make the ears and completes the dog.

Summary: Find the two beads melted together to form the join on the bead necklace. Cut a string of beads twelve beads long and another two beads long. Twist four beads together behind the second bead on the long string. Do the same thing to the other side of the long piece except that after you twist the beads, 2 beads should be sticking out for the head. Wrap the two beads behind the first bead on end with the two beads sticking out. Finished.
