Just 17 Things On Amazon You’ll Probably Want If You’re A Hamster Parent

If your fur baby is a sweet little hamster, don't fall asleep at the wheel and check out these hammie essentials.

1. A spacious favola hamster cage — make sure any habitat you get has a solid bottom like this one, as well as minimal bar and wire spacing to stop escape artists.

Amazon

This comes complete with a water bottle, exercise wheel, food dish and special hamster hide-out, as per their quirky yet essential habits.

2. An absolutely bananas super soft small animal pet bed with a warm, comfy cushion pad begging to be regularly featured on your hamster baby's Instagram page.

Amazon

This is made of cotton, and also works well for hedgehogs, rats, chinchillas, and guinea pigs, depending on how many furry friends you're living with. Just be sure to clean every two weeks and replace after three months.

3. A bag of all-natural aspen bedding great for both nesting and resting.

Amazon

The shavings are specially processed to eliminate excess dust and wood debris. Cover their floor with one to three inches of this and be sure to remove & replace any wet or soiled bedding daily, while doing a full cage clean once a week.

Available in four sizes.

4. An incredible 10-pack of wooden pine toys & accessories (yes, there's even a seasaw, swing and climbing ladder) that is basically Gymboree class for your critter. We love a bundle of joy-inducing toys.

Amazon

In full, this includes bark watermelon balls, a bell roller, a dumbbell, a unicycle (!!), a squared molar block with a rope, a bell swing, a rattan ball, a climbing ladder, a seesaw, and a molar string. A hamster amusement park if there ever were one.

5. A premium plastic sand hamster potty providing a great way for your fur baby to relieve some stress while relieving themselves.

Amazon

Hamsters loves to have a sand bath as it helps them keep their fur naturally clean, and this is an especially good option because reviewers note that the included scooper makes it super easy to keep clean.

6. A darling two-piece set of ceramic kiwi and watermelon food dishes that takes just 30 seconds to scrub clean and helps prevent spills. Having these around may also make you crave a fruit smoothie...

Amazon

These bowls are also chew-resistant, sturdy enough that they won't overturn, and are made with a ceramic resistant to smells (which, no offense to our beloved furry friends, they definitely do).

7. A super *silent* quiet spinner hamster exercise wheel because as much as you love to watch your hammie do their daily cardio, you'd prefer if it was a quiet, peaceful process.

Amazon

Some reviewers mentioned that this was also easier for their hamsters to use, since it has a wide running track and is designed so they won't have to bend their backs to keep running. It's also durable, chew-resistant, and very easy to clean.

Available in seven colors.

8. A cute wooden hamster hideaway house that promotes healthy nesting and chewing while giving your fur baby their own private compound to call home.

Amazon

These are built with raw wood and bark to help give hamsters a sense of security, and is made with durable materials so they can use it not just as a hamster house, but a hamster *home*.

9. A one-pound bag of chicken-flavored fortified hamster pellets so you know your babies are getting the very best nutrition possible. Perfect for picky eaters, these pellets were formulated with the guidance of the top vets and nutritionists and can be nicely complemented by grass hay.

Amazon

These are also fortified with vitamins and minerals and support immune health with antioxidants and prebiotics important to your lil buddy's gut. A lot of reviewers also note that this worked well for their picky eaters out there (Remy the rat is not the only discerning furry critter out there).

10. A secure no-drip water bottle featuring a user-friendly screw-on bracket to keep your hamsters well-hydrated without worrying about leakage into their habitat.

Amazon

The attachment is designed to work universally with most cages, and a lot of reviewers note that it's very easy not only to secure, but to take off the bottle and nozzle to refill and replace it with a quick snap.

Available in six colors.

11. A long, chewable suspension bridge toy so your hamster can get their daily steps in, reach higher areas in their habitats or hide underneath it when they're in the mood to take a snooze.

Amazon

This little toy is actually delightfully versatile — it's bendy and flexible so you can use it as a climbing ladder, bedding, or sand area divider, among other things. You can even switch it up easily to give your hamster different ways to "explore" their enclosure. It's also chewable and may help prevent anxiety when your hamster gets left alone.

Available in two sizes.

12. A small ceramic hamster hideout designed as both shark (note the mouth full of teeth) and watermelon (the fun pattern). Truly, this belongs in some kind of post-modern pet museum.

Amazon

Reviewers note that this is larger than most hamster hideouts, which is especially great for owners with hamsters on the bigger side. Plus in the summer the ceramic can help cool your furry friend down, and can even be used as a hamster bath.

13. A tasty veggie cranberry hamster treat stick baked for both crunchiness and superb flavor.

Amazon

The seeds contain essential vitamins and minerals, and chewing helps prevent hamster boredom (and overgrown teeth).

14. A spacious high-rise tank topper with strong, sturdy wires so your hamster can climb back and forth between levels while staying safe and enjoying the added space.

Amazon

The topper is 19.25 x 9.75 x 11.5 inches to fit a standard hamster cage, and comes with a strong locking mechanism to ensure it never snaps out of place. Reviewers also love that it gives them the opportunity to add more accessories and toys for their hamsters to play with.

15. A coconut hamster hut your hammie will go nutty over.

Amazon

The coolest part? It's made from eco-friendly coconut shell materials, acting as both tropical decor and hideout. You can even put bedding in it to encourage them to use it for snoozing.

16. A delightful small pet Christmas costume made from warm, soft material.

Amazon

The set includes a mini red wool hamster hat, mini Santa Claus hat, and two holiday scarves. Yeah, these are definitely going on the 'gram (and holiday card).

Available in two sizes.

17. A trusty pet-safe bottle of small animal cage cleaner that both sanitizes and deodorizes your hamster's living quarters. They try to keep their room clean, but alas...they do need your help each week.

amazon.com

Reviewers note that this also does a good job with getting out tough-to-scrub stains. Most importantly, though, it doesn't leave behind any strong scents or irritants that will upset your hamster's system.
