The main attribute in the hamster's cage is the house. Being in it, the pet feels completely safe, become very calm. After all, hamsters are mostly nocturnal, and during the day they hide in shelters.
It is best if the house is made of natural material - because it does not exude harmful substances. For example, the author of this video made a home for a coconut hamster.
To get started, watch a video on how to make a coconut hamster house:
Materials and Tools
- Coconut;
- Hacksaw for wood;
- Engraver;
- A spoon;
- Marker.
Manufacture
First you need to choose the right coconut. It must be free of cracks and other defects. Using a hacksaw, saw off the top of the coconut.
Pour out “coconut milk” through the hole and select all the flesh with a spoon. Then grind the edges of the hole with an engraver.
In order for the hamster to get into his house, it is necessary to cut the doorway. It is best that it has a rounded shape. Mark its outlines with a marker.
On the opposite side of the house draw a window.
Saw the doorway and window along the outlined contours. For this purpose, you can use a special nozzle engraver.
So, the house for the hamster is ready. If you wish, you can treat its surface with sandpaper to make it smooth. Although this is not necessary - the pet will climb its house, clinging to its fleecy surface.
