The Hamstervitory

I'm so stupidly proud of this, absolutely the best design I've done so far.

My Syrian hamster needed new digs next, and he's bigger than the mice or the dwarf hamster, so I needed something with more room inside.

I used to make a big tower out of cardboard boxes that was set up to be an elaborate playland for the rodents, which I called the Hamstervitory. They've had to have other ways to do their out of cage playtime since the move because I no longer have an area where I can just install a little table for tiny shenanigans and both they and I have missed the Hamstervitory. I wanted Sasquatch to have an official Hamstervitory, that looks like an actual observatory rather than just being tower-like. And yes, I spell it Hamstervitory rather than Hamstervatory, because I think the portmanteau just looks/sounds better that way.

So I made a wee observatory, labeled it, hollowed it, and put in a fake decorative "telescope" in a small slit in the top just like a real observatory.
