hey everyone!
Had this amazing wild idea about making a homemade hamster cage but with its natural environment or well a different type of home for a hamster. My idea is to get a container that that is about maybe 2 feet and plant grass and some small plants for the hamster to nibble on! i want to see if a hamster will naturally make a burrow(if not i plan to get a pipe and make one for it just to encourage it, it would be at least 50cm of soil for it to dig!)excited!. There will also be a water area for it to go to if it wants!. Maybe use the hamster poop for fertilizer?haha.
Is this a good idea?
what type of grass should i use?
what plants should i plant?
what type of hamster would suite this environment( i know most of them are dessert types)?
Will i still need a wheel?
Would love some feedback please!
