Hamshion
This hamster man-shons features three bedrooms (two in penhouse form), a "gym" with wheel, a "basement" for burrowing, curvy tubes, dome with drinking bottle, portable "Away" room and bath. Only one ham, Hiro, currently lives there.
HAMHANCE!

How fun is that!!! Makes me want to create a Ham-shon in my house.
The only thing it's missing is a garage for the hammies' 14 cars - the orb kind!
it's not a hammie home .. it's a spaceship!!
Must be a happy hammy.
glad I am not a hamster, I would never find the way back to bed...
That would not be fun to clean.
om-freakin-g that is HI-larious!
and i thought my kittehs were spoiled rotten...
That really is quite the apparatus.
Thanks for the Hamhance.. I almost missed that guy lol...
My house should be that much fun!
I had something like this once (not that elaborate of course!) But I kept gerbils for several years, and we could never afford to buy a big tank, so we kept buying little ones and connecting them. The gerbils seemed to like it!
That looks like a lovely home. It is great that the little guy is so well cared for. But isn't it kind of big for one little hamster? I think he needs a friend. The only thing better than one happy hammie is 2 happy hammies.
*sniffle*
IM JEALOUS!!!
:(
It's a scale model of the internets! A series of tubes!
Wow. That is one sweet crib.
It's a hamshion worthy of the Hamptons.
He looks a bit lonely in there.
I have enough trouble keeping my own house clean. Imagine cleaning his little place. Would need tiny broom and tiny mop. Or just hire Hunka and Munka. They would probably like the extra money.
Luckiest ham ever!
Hiro needs a friend Ando!
These McHamshions are usually waaay over-mortgaged.
It's Hammie Hiro Nakamura and he's gonna save the world! The darling lives in an amusement park!
Looks like a party pad to me.
Lizzadies...come on over to Hiro's swinging bachelor pad. There's room enough for all you chickies.
Looks like my brother's college dorm. Or was it that my brother's dorm looked like a hamster house?
Ding: Your comment made me bust out laughing! I remember when ted stevens said that!
He's living in a chemistry set!
Syrian hamsters are very territorial and will fight. So no roomies for McHammerson.
I had a hamster setup where the tubes climbed my bookcase and there was a little pod by my bed. Hammy would come over to say Hi
I agree with those who say he needs a friend. I'm a firm believer in never having just one of anything.
Ahem, excuse me, but I think that sweet creature is actually a mouse. I had a mouse with just those markings in my youth. Check the distance between the ears...The clincher would be a peek at the tail...
Do Syrians just not get along with other males, or is it all of them collectively? Poor guys. I feel bad for Beta fish by themselves, too. When I had them, I'd keep at least a large sucker fish in the tank with them. :(
Speaking of puppies-yeah, I know, we weren't, the Shiba Inu puppies are still there, HUGE and wonderful Night-nights right now. and H U G E!
They look like small dogs now, no more newborn puppy-looks. Ehnnnnnnnn...
That is a high end hamster home!
Where's the Jacuzzi? You can't have a swingin' hammy bachelor pad without a teeny hawt tub! Of course, next to that you need the tiny bucket of chilled baby carrots.
My gerbil has two cages connected and it's hard enough to round him up when I need to take him out...
@ Brinnann, all of them collectively! They will fight and it can be really bad. So I don't think they miss hammie company. It's their nature to be by themselves.
I had a boy and a girl, they lived separately and when I tried to get them to have babies they both got bitten badly even though I tried to be careful. It all happened in a second. Never tried that again.
Speaking as a hammie owner, I am amazed and jealous. However, I am cringing at the thought of cleaning that thing. Ugh.
So how do Syrian Hamsters breed, if they instantly attack each other? I guess quickly and with an element of surprise.
Lol! Dorm room, party pad, chemistry set!? You nutty people are a lot of fun! :-D
How sad, I read on their site that the hammy pictured named Hiro died at the age of 9mo from a tumor. Great home, I hope they have another ham living there.
@ Hon Glad - "...and with an element of surprise." That's great! hahahaha
That is one kickin' crib. I'm totally jealous!
A friend of mine has a set-up almost like this for her rat. He never wants to leave his home - except to play hide-and-seek with his "mom."
Boy! That is one lucky son of a gun Hammie!
I did this with a hamster once. Only hamster I ever had that didn't keep trying to escape. Little goof was HAPPY! Hamsters and Betta fish are true loners. Unlike humans they really don't appreciate someone all up in their faces. Baby mammas are one-night stands only and then get lost. Hamster's breed like mice so it doesnt take long to get out of hand when you try and solve your impression of his loneliness. We are not all alike, especially those who are not our species! Hamsters love to explore. Cleaning the tubes quickly got too much, he peed in all of them constantly. So when he died I sold off the set to someone else. End of hamster ownership.
Oh so nice! I had a big cage (ferplast Mary) connected to a little pod, my hamm used to love it and the tube that would lead there. He even left his wooden cabin and move his sizzle* up there...
All syrian hamsters don't get allong - female-female, male-male and female-male don't get along. They can get along when they are in the nest with siblings for a few weeks, but will fight sooner or later.
Why they can breed; the female will be "willing" when she smells the male. And is old enough ofcourse. They have good smell so they know who is "mate-able".
Males aren't nice to babies so no daddy in the cage with them, ever. :) kthnx.

We must not breed a generation of spoiled hams. Spread the wealth!
This is a sweet set up and for those who don't know I read some where that in the wild Hams travel about five miles a day foraging for food. An amazing distance for such little guys .
They also do NOT like rats and Rats DO NOT like them.
And they are ferocious fighters too.
Hiro needs a couple of hammie pals. He's lonely, I can tell...
I made the mistake of putting my hammy and my room mate's in a cage together once. Yikes. There was blood. Hammies are solitary little dudes.
*snerk*
@Hon Glad ..."quickly and with an element of surprise." So, like many men?
