Heyo! Some good items are grapevine branches, cork rounds/logs, a big area of sand, and a lot of texture (moss, hay, safe wood shavings, etcc) :)

You can get some of these on Chewy, they have great items, and airplantsupply.co, with some great pieces of grapevine!! :thumbsup:

I have seen many German hamster owners (including dogshamsters), use a leaf litter on top of the bedding. I’m not sure if you can get suitable dried leaves in the US though (I know you can get them from websites like mixerama but they don’t ship to the US).

I would recommend you watch some of Victoria Reachel's videos.

Here are some links!

Sphagnum moss looks great in a natural enclosure, and is safe for hamsters when baked to remove bacteria. Oat, wheat, millet, and flax sprays are AMAZING for foraging and as boredom breakers for hammies, and, as a bonus, look great in a natural enclosure. As already stated, cork logs and grapevine wood are awesome for a natural enclosure. I would suggest a wood hideout, such as the Niteangel multichamber one, available on amazon, which works great for putting a wheel on top of. Long wooden bridges are great separators, or 'fences' to go around sand baths. Ceramic, instead of plastic dishes, look very nice in a natural enclosure. As for bedding, aspen shavings work well, as well as Carefresh or Kaytee Clean and Cozy Natural, or other safe brands of bedding. I hope this helps you!

I have nothing to add, other ppl have good suggestions! I recommend herb mixes - RobinsGourmetFood and Redwood Grove on Etsy. the brand Niteangel has AMAZING STUFF! Most of the stuff in my hammy Boba's cage is from there.
