Sand Lining Hamster Wheel

Post by Pumpkin »

I was thinking that since we already have hamster sand, that we could apply glue to the hamster wheel track to apply the sand layer to help keep their nails trimmed instead of buying another product like cork to line the hamster wheel.

Would this work and be safe to do?

I feel like the glue may come off over time, and it may be harder to clean the wheel if your hamster likes to pee in it. You may be able to find a sheet of cork paper in a craft or hardware store that may be more affordable than buying a new wheel.
