| Coconut Home |
| Coconut homes are comfortable and natural homes for hamsters. They're sold in most stores, but are usually rather small and expensive for what they are, especially since they can be made easily. Materials: - medium to small sized coconut to suit your hamster - knife - drill - drill bit that drills a hole approx. 5 cm (2 in) diameter, or to suit your hamster (key hole drill bits work well) - sandpaper Procedure: 1. Drain or suck the liquid out of the coconut by making 2 small holes in it with the knife (one to let the air in, the other to drain the liquid). 2. Set the coconut down on a table. Mark out a spot for the entrance that your hamster will be able to easily reach (be sure that the entrance won't get covered if the coconut rolls over). 3. Drill the 5 cm (2 in) diameter hole where you have marked the entrance to be. 4. Scoop out the coconut flesh. 5. Eat what you've scooped out! 6. Wash out the inside of the coconut and sand the edges of the hole if necessary. You're finished! Fill the coconut with shavings and a pinch of food to encourage your hamster to use it. |
