Which hamster toy should I buy?

Question by Elle: Which hamster toy should I buy?
If you can recommend any hamster toy from any website in the UK only. Under £5.
One of my hamsters has a bog standard cage with a wheel, house and toilet roll tube in. He loves to climb on the bars and spends lots of time in his house. He likes his wheel but has gotten pretty bored of it.
I would like, for him, a toy to play with, doesn’t matter if he can chew it or not, maybe something that provides a little platform thing because I think he would like that. Must be under £5.

My second hamster has a slightly bigger cage. It is still a standard wire cage of one level, but has a little yellow platform with a ladder leading up to it. She has a house where she spends lots of her time, she has a wheel which she loves and a tube which she is a little unsure about because I only put it in yesterday. She loves to chew the bars but won’t chew any flavoured wood blocks or mineral blocks I put in. She also loves to climb on her wheel and will happily sit on top of it. She likes to climb the bars and sit on top of her little blue house. I want to remove the tube because it is too big and take up too much cage.
I want a proper toy for her, not something to chew on.

So what do you think they will like? You can recommend a different toy for each hamster but they must be under £5 each. Thanks!
And PLEASE direct me to the site with the product on, it must be a UK site! Thank You So Much!
One can be more than £5 and the other can be less. As long as together they add up to no more than £10
I said I don’t want chew toys.
I use ENglish money
And I need websites.
Sorry to sound harsh but there is no point answering unless you have read what I have wrote!
Also, the toy is for inside the cage

Cat Behaviors To Watch Out For

When you bring home your new kitten, you will need to watch out for behaviors they may exhibit. As your kitten grows into an adult cat, you will observe behaviors which you can train to eliminate and get to know more about your cat’s instinct. Cat behaviors to watch out for will provide you with five behaviors and they are: training your cat to stay away from other pets, marking their territory, stop using my houseplants as litter boxes, how to tell if your cat is playing or fighting and give your cat a taste of the outdoors.

How To Train Your Cat To Stay Away From Other Pets

If you notice that your cat is brothering other pets in the house such as birds, small rodents, or small dogs, it’s probably because of her natural instincts. Teaching your cat to overcome these instincts will be very challenging. Here are some tips to help you.

Teach your cat to stay out of the room where your bird or hamster lives. Modify the environment to keep pets apart. Use a baby gate to separate the cat and dog and make sure that you do not place conflicting pets’ food, water and beds next to each other.

If you notice your cat bothering another pet, to discourage this behavior by spraying her face with cool water from a spray bottle. The sensation may be just unpleasant enough for your cat to shape up. You can ask other pet owners or your veterinarian for more tips if these do not work.

How Do Cats Mark Their Territory?

Cats are by nature solitary and they stake out their territory in a number of ways. Scratching is a common behavior in domestic cats. When you see a cat rubbing its cheek on its owner’s leg, there is usually more than affection going on. This behavior is known as bunting, and it serves as a form of communication to other animals. When a cat rubs it’s staking out its territory with pheromones – chemicals secreted by glands in the animal’s cheeks, paws, rump, and shoulder area.

Spraying urine is another common behavior in wild cats. In domestic cats, particularly un-neutered males, urine spraying may also be associated with sexual activity. Spaying or neutering your pet may solve this problem. 

How Can I Stop My Cat Using My Houseplants As Litter Boxes

If your cat lived outdoors, she would naturally use dirt to urinate or defecate. So if you see her urinating in your plants, it’s because dirt is her natural toilet. So, how can I stop this behavior?

Be sure that the cats litter box is clean and a dirty litter box is not the cause of this behavior. Cats do not like a dirty litter box. You may have to clean her litter box more regularly. You will need to repot your plants. Once a cat urinates in a plant, her smell is there and she is likely to go back to that plant again. So you will need to replace the soil. Then place some type of pet repellant on the plant. You can purchase these repellants in any pet store.

How Do I Know If My Cat Is Playing or Fighting?

This is a very good question and here is the answer. You see your cat stalking a sibling through the thicket of the living room carpet. He pounces, and the two turn into a tumbling ball of ferocious fur. Are they playing or fighting?

Cats play is quiet. You won’t hear the loud wailing of serious combat. During play, the offensive and defensive roles will shift back and forth. Cats usually will not get injured in these battles, and afterward neither seems afraid of the other. Feline playmates also display friendly behaviors between their skirmishes.

But if your kitten’ tiff involves howling, flattened ears, dilated pupils, raised hackles, arched backs, and puffy hair, you will need to step in. Make a loud noise or spray them with cool water. Then separate the cats.

How Can I Give My Indoor Cat A Taste of the Outdoors?

Before taking your cat outdoors, you will need to train her to walk with a leash. Use a harness instead of a collar and get a leash that’s 4 to 6 feet long. Get your pet used to the harness. If she should resist, leave it around where she can smell it for a few days.

When she is ready, let your cat drag the leash, but keep an eye on her. Then hold the leash and follow her for short indoor walks. Eventually try taking her outside. When she does things that are pleasing, praise her and give her a treat. Never pull. If your cat won’t go where you want, pick her up and carry her to the spot. Be patient. This will take some time. Before long, she will be looking forward to the walks with you.

These are some great tips on cat behaviors to watch out for. By knowing these behaviors, will help you become a better cat owner.

A Day in the Life of my Hamster Aria

Can anyone tell me what breed my hamster is? No one ever seems to know… This video is my first handmade video… for a friend who really want to see my hamster! Excuse the fact that I’m not very good a filming! Please comment, rate, and subscribe.

To her, that is the double meaning of fun. I think she’s suppose to dig? This is practice for the staring contest, which she wins every time. You’ll never know where she is, until she hits a wall. Don’t worry, she always comes back

You’re better off taking him to a vet. It could possibly be ringworm and that is highly contagious-even to humans.

Zhuzhu Pets: Do Fake Pets Have Anything Real to Offer?

My first pet was a gerbil I got when I was eight years old. I begged and begged for the little guy, and finally my parents gave in. Of course, like most kids, I got my initial thrill, and then the novelty started to wear off. But the responsibility didn’t, and I had to keep taking care of the gerbil for several years to come.

One night the little guy got accidentaly crushed in a door. I used to let him run around for exercise, and he was on one of those runs when my sister opened the door and he got squeezed between the frame and the door. Blood was pouring out of his nose, and his legs looked broken. Mom helped me patch him up as best we could, and then it was a long night of waiting. Mom brought a hot water bottle and we covered it in a towel and put it next to where he was sleeping. I remember crying with Mom as we watched over his little body.

Miracleously, he survived, and went on to live for many years. But I never forgot that harrowing night. It was my first experience of watching helplessly while something — or someone — struggled to survive. I learned something that night. A hard lesson for an eight year old, but a good education nonetheless.

A few years ago my wife brought home a hamster that belonged to one of her client’s children. The kid had grown bored of the hamster, and the poor thing sat completely neglected on a shelf in his room. If it wasn’t for his mother coming in to feed it, it would have died and he would not have known the difference. My wife and I looked after that little guy for almost 3 years, until he died at a ripe old age. I was surprised to find myself nearly as saddened by the loss as I had been when my first gerbil died when I was a kid.

Zhuzhu pets are fake hamsters, that look and act like the real thing, but are actually electronic toys. Now, the attraction for many parents might be obvious; no muss, no fuss, and a nearly real experience of looking after a pet. But I see it as another step in the direction of losing all real experience for children.

A Zhuzhu pet is nothing more than an animated teddy bear. If parents are looking for a real learning experience for their child, then the responsibility of looking after a pet is a mighty good one. Forget to feed and water a real hamster, neglect it and don’t give it any attention, and you are in for one hard lesson. Knowing that it is one day going to die, and your child is learning a true lesson in life.

Of course zhuzhu pets and other such toys have their place in a child’s life, especially for the very young. But they aren’t going to teach kids anything about responsibility or the realities of life and death. For that, you might want to think about getting a real hamster.
