Maxi Zoo Hamster Products
FOOD
A hamsters diet requires a wide variety, 25+ ingredients is best and most mixes on the market offer some source of protein so there’s no need to substitute with other forms of protein.

SUBSTRATES
Substrates are one of the best ways to offer stimulation for your hamster. We recommend offering at least 2 on top of the necessary sand bath. Substrates are used for different things, digging, nesting and even burrow stability.
MultiFit Sand is the best value for money in Ireland and your hamster will thank you for filling their sand bath with it.
MultiFit terrarium soil is a great additional digging substrate that your hamster will enjoy getting messy in.
ENRICHMENT
Enrichment keeps hamster noses and whiskers happy. Their eyesight isn’t great, so we have to give them things to do that they can smell and feel.
Spotlight Item
This forest topper is a great way to make any enclosure look more natural and also gives you hamster plenty to small and feel.
WHEELS
Hamsters need a smooth running surface and a wheel with a back wall. Cork lined wheels are softer on their feet but plastic wheels are easier to clean if your hamster decides that’s where they’re going to go to the toilet.
Spotlight Item
Wooden cork lined wheels are multifunctional, offering a smooth running surface and a way to keep your hamsters nails trimmed due to the cork.
