But my hamster moley keeps gnawing the box where he sleeps and keeps me awake at night, i cant put the cage anywhere else as i have dogs and they get annoyed by the sound, so i have decided to block off the bed with a stopper and buy a house for the main cage area which he can sleep in can anyone suggest a good type of bed, wooden or plastic house which i can buy which is not too big for the cage but big enough for an adult sized hamster

Answer 1

You can put a 2 inch thick bedding in the cage. Hamsters are more than happy to burrow into their bedding and make a sleeping place for themselves there. You can give him a roll of toilet paper and let him rip it up and make his own bedding (it is fun to watch hamsters do that). Make sure that the toilet paper you give him is unbleached, untreated and non- fragrant.

You can also make a small box house for him out of a empty carton, as long as the cardboard is not colored. This would serve as a sleeping area for him as well as a gnawing toy.

If you still want to buy something, you can give an igloo to your hamster. Check the following link -
