What is “German-style” hamster scaping?

By "German style," we primarily mean a natural landscape with calming colors, abundant wood and bark texture, and a clever zoning system. Think of a beautiful base of ground cover, pathways along the edges, multiple hiding places, and natural materials that give the whole a tranquil look.

The great thing is: you can start small (one cork tunnel + a bridge + a hiding place) and expand later. For the basics of the enclosure , ground cover & nesting material , and play & foraging facilities are highly recommended.

Materials in this category: what do you do with them?

  • Cork : Perfect for tunnels, hiding places, and “walls” that instantly add character to your scape.
  • Bamboo : sleek and natural, beautiful for a calm look and smart layout.
  • Bark wood : extra structure; ideal for creating routes and spreading bait for searching fun.
  • Willow : playful and popular as a natural gnawing and diversion element.
  • Hazelnut / birch / beech : strong and fine for bridges, tunnels and stable constructions.
  • Mahogany / Alder : beautiful warm tones and solid components for a calm scape.

Want to create extra "passages"? Combine this with tubes, tunnels , and other cage components.

This is how you build a scape (in layers) that works

A scape works best when you think in layers. Don't just "lay everything out," but create zones and routes that feel logical.

  • 1) Basics : Start with ground cover and create a clear digging zone.
  • 2) Structure : Place cork, bark, or wooden tunnels as edges, passages, and hiding places.
  • 3) Routes : build paths along the edges with bridges/platforms so your animal can walk around nicely.
  • 4) Resting places : add at least one nice, quiet hiding place in a sheltered spot.
  • 5) Activity : Sprinkle small portions of food over bark/cork or use foraging products for an extra challenge.

Maintenance: how to keep your scape beautiful

  • Spot-clean regularly: remove wet/dirty spots and brush away crumbs from wood/bark.
  • Let something dry thoroughly if it gets damp; this way it will stay fresh for longer.
  • Dry cleaning often works best for cork and bark wood (brushing).
  • Replace in time when a part becomes unstable or remains structurally dirty.

Checklist: Get the German-style scape right the first time

Ground cover as a base (with a clear digging zone)

At least 2 hiding places spread throughout the enclosure

Routes along the edges (bridges/tunnels/cork)

Mix of materials: cork + bark + wood type (e.g. willow or beech)

Extra challenge with foraging (searching always pays off)

Safety: sturdy, suitable and controlled

  • Check regularly for splinters, sharp edges and loose parts.
  • Place heavier parts so that they cannot slide , especially above digging zones.
  • Always choose components that are suitable for the size of your animal (passages should be wide enough).
  • Use materials intended for animals; this way you know you're working with suitable products.

FAQ – German Style & Hamster Scaping

Which materials give the most “German style” effect?
Cork and bark immediately create that natural texture. Combine this with a subtle wood (e.g., beech/alder) for a beautiful effect.

Is this category only for hamsters?
No, many components are also suitable for gerbils and mice. For guinea pigs, rabbits, and rats, choose primarily based on size, stability, and placement.

How do I make it challenging without it looking “busy”?
Work with zones: a quiet hiding place, a path along the edge, and a play area. Repeat materials (e.g., cork and bark) for a calming look.

What's a good first set to start with?
A cork tunnel, a bridge/platform, and a good hiding place make a strong foundation. Afterward, you can expand with bark and additional routes.
