Hamster supplies & accessories – everything for golden hamsters and dwarf hamsters
Looking for hamster supplies that truly complement your pet's natural behavior? At DRD Rodent Shop®, you'll find everything you need for a comfortable, practical, and animal-friendly environment: from hamster cages and terrariums to diggable bedding , hamster food , and smart enrichment. We've been specialists since 2011 and select our range based on safety, ease of use, and what hamsters actually need.
Tip: " Golden hamster " = Syrian hamster (also called "Syrian hamster" or "hamster Sirio"). Dwarf hamsters (such as the Chinese , Russian, Roborovski, and Campbell's) often have slightly different sizes and preferences. That's why you'll find clear size and species recommendations on many products.
Hamster cage or hamster terrarium?
Are you looking for a hamster cage , a glass hamster cage , or a hamster terrarium ? The basics are simple: sufficient floor space, a clever layout with hiding places, and space for a thick digging layer. Many hamsters thrive in a glass enclosure/terrarium because it allows for deep substrate. Wire cages are also an option, provided they offer sufficient space and you can build up the substrate properly.
Bedding for hamsters
Good substrate for hamsters is more than just "filling": it's a building material for tunnels and an important part of their daily routine (digging, hiding, foraging). Choose a substrate that grips well (tunnel-resistant), feels comfortable, and fits your cleaning routine.
Houses, tunnels & nesting material
Hamsters are prey animals: shelter provides peace. Ideally, combine multiple hiding places (e.g., a multi-chambered house + tunnel + extra hiding spot) and always provide plenty of nesting material so your hamster can line its sleeping area.
Hamster food, herbs, seeds & snacks
Good hamster food is the foundation. You can supplement this with forage items, herbs, and seeds. Snacks are especially useful as a reward or enrichment: small, varied, and appropriate for your hamster.
Enrichment, play & hamster scaping
A hamster is most enjoyable to watch when it's doing "hamster things": digging, searching, dragging, gnawing, and running. With hamster scaping and foraging products, you can transform the enclosure into a logical mini-landscape with zones (nest, food storage, sand bath, search area).

Hamster food bowls, drinking bottles & water bowls
Choose a sturdy food bowl (ceramic is popular) and a water solution that suits your needs: a well-adjusted water bottle or a water bowl that's easy to clean. Hygiene and stability are important here.
Cleaning, maintenance & routine
A fresh cage is all about smart spot cleaning and occasional more thorough cleaning. Using the right products will keep your hamster's enclosure hygienic without causing unnecessary stress.
Transport boxes & hamster runs
For a visit or a safe cleaning/decorating round, a nice transport box is ideal. And if you want extra space to move around, a hamster run is especially useful if you use it quietly, safely, and under supervision.
Care & health
In these categories, you'll find products for daily care and support. Note: If you have any doubts about your hamster (for example, sudden changes in behavior, not eating or drinking, or significant discomfort), consulting a veterinarian is always the best course of action.
