40-Gallon Palace for 1 Lucky Hamster
Featured Hamster Home February 1st, 2008

This is the first issue where we feature astonishingly creative and practical hamster homes.
The very first featured hamster home is HoppingHammy’s set up that is made up of TWO 20 gallons aquariums.
I think the photos speak for themselves. Creampuff (HoppingHammy’s hamster) is definitely living a high life in this splendid, luxurious set up. Please don’t let my own hamsters see these photos, or they’ll squeak protest!
