Hamster's building craft

Another weekend spent building stuff for the hamsters.

They have already made a hole on the floor in the central building of the linkage that connects the two containers that are their living space, and they are working on making a hole on the mid-landing of one of the stairs.

First they pee on it, then when the cardboard is soggy and wrinkly they chew it until they make a hole. Destroyers of cardboard buildings, all three of them.

No appreciation of the time and effort I put in to make those buildings, ungrateful furry brats! And the problem is we threw away all the other buildings when Cocoa passed away, so there is no alternative linkage bridge at the moment. =(

So I have to build a new one, and this time I am going with ice cream stick instead of cardboard. Well, the wall of the central building will probably still be cardboard, given the size, but the floor will be wooden ice cream sticks.

Over the last few weekends I have made a spiral staircase, one straight staircase and one folded staircase. All three are meant as the first part of the linkage of the two containers, the ground to central platform part.

Yes, really only need two but I made three for variety and back up.

Still no central building, and also need to bridge the gap between those staircases and the central platform, which I intend to do with a short staircase or bridge structure.

I purposely designed it this way so it's easier to isolate the three hamsters when it comes to giving treat, just remove the bridge structure and I have three areas for each of the hamsters to eat in peace without the others attempt to steal their treat.

Anyway, still much to do, so I guess still many weekends without the time for anything else.
