A dwarf hamster home is much more than just a place to sleep. Dwarf hamsters are prey animals and burrow builders: they want to be able to retreat, build a nest, and often create a storage area. With the right dwarf hamster homes , you give your hamster peace, order, and control in its enclosure.
In this subcategory, you'll find houses suitable for dwarf hamsters (such as Russian, Campbell, Roborovski, and Chinese hamsters): with logical dimensions, safe materials, and clever details like multiple rooms or extra openings. Specialists since 2011 – we primarily select houses that work well in practice.
What size house for a dwarf hamster?
A dwarf hamster house doesn't need to be huge, but it should be spacious enough for comfortable turning, nesting, and perhaps even a small storage area. Also, always pay attention to the opening : it should be appropriate for the species and size of your hamster.
- House size: usually around 12 x 12 cm (larger is always welcome).
- Opening: guideline around ± 5 cm (depending on shape/type).
- Multiple openings: especially for larger or multi-room houses, 2 entrances is a nice plus.
Tip: Not sure about the size? Draw the house out on paper. That'll give you a quick sense of the volume.
Types of dwarf hamster houses: which one suits your decor?
In this category you will find dwarf hamster houses in different styles and functions:
- Sleeping houses (basic: sleeping, nesting, sheltering)
- Multi-room houses (sleeping + pantry + extra space)
- Tunnels / shelters (extra route and cover)
- Sand houses (bath house in combination with a sand bath)
- Ceramic houses (cooling spot/extra shelter, nice in warmer periods)
Why multi-room houses are so popular with dwarf hamsters
A multi-room house feels "logical" to many dwarf hamsters: it resembles a small system of tunnels and rooms. You often see one room serving as a nesting area, and another as a storage area or quiet hiding place.
- ✓ More structure: sleeping, supplies and resting place separated
- ✓ Less disturbance of the nest during inspection
- ✓ Can be beautifully incorporated into hamster scaping

Wood, ceramic or plastic: what is best for dwarf hamsters?
For your dwarf hamster, a home is primarily a safe hiding place. For you, appearance and ease of cleaning are often important.
Placement in the enclosure: this is how dwarf hamsters get real hiding places
Dwarf hamsters thrive when they have a choice: a main house and additional hiding places scattered throughout the enclosure. Ideally, use a deep digging zone and build the house (partially) into the enclosure.
- Combine with dwarf hamster bedding so your hamster can dig and “grow”.
- Provide enough nesting material for a warm and sturdy nest.
- Work with tunnels/canopies (e.g. cork) to reduce the number of open areas.

How do you clean a dwarf hamster house?
Cleaning is best done locally: remove only really dirty parts and leave the nesting area as intact as possible. It's best not to soak wooden nests in water.
For odors/urine, an enzyme cleaner is useful: urine spray .
Checklist: choosing a dwarf hamster home
- ✓ From approx. 12 × 12 cm (larger is always allowed)
- ✓ Opening fits (often around ± 5 cm)
- ✓ Preferably open bottom for hygiene and "installation"
- ✓ Extra hiding places next to the main house
- ✓ Matches your theme/hamsterscaping and cleaning routine
Safety warnings
- ✓ Avoid houses and openings that are too small : comfortable turning must be possible.
- ✓ Place heavier items stably and not “loosely” on a deep digging layer.
- ✓ Keep the house dry and cool; check the edges and finishes regularly.
FAQ – Dwarf Hamster Houses
Why does a dwarf hamster need a home?
Because dwarf hamsters feel safer with a permanent hiding place. It's their sleeping place, nesting place, and often also a storage area.
Is one house enough?
One main shelter is the minimum, but multiple hiding places are better. Consider an additional tunnel, a small shelter, or a shelter in the digging area.
Is a house with an open floor better?
Often, yes. It ventilates better, urine can drain into the bedding, and your dwarf hamster can more easily build into the house.
Which type of house is the most popular?
Multi-room houses are a favorite because they provide structure: sleeping and storing are separated. Tunnels and compact hiding places are also helpful for extra cover.
How do I clean a wooden house?
Do not soak in water. Apply locally and, for odors/urine, preferably use an enzyme cleaner such as urine spray .
