Hamster Cage Liners & Litter Accessories

Should you decide to try to litter train your hamster or just switch up how you line your cage for cleaning purposes, you'll need some specific hamster accessories to make it happen. Chewy carries a range of the best hamster accessories for litter training your pet, including litter boxes and the hamster litter that goes in them, hamster cage liners and bedding, cage cleaning supplies and more. Read on to learn about the best hamster cage accessories for potty training your pet as well as the hamster litter and bedding you'll need to fill your litter box.

Provide a suitable litter box for your hamster and "train" your hamster to use it by putting it wherever he usually goes potty. Hamsters will usually pick a favorite spot and stick to it, so putting a litter box there can be all you need to succeed in teaching him where to go. You'll want to use a small animal litter pan with high sides or a cover and a low front for easy entry, and one that mounts to the cage to avoid tipping can provide extra stability and avoid messes.

Be sure to fill your litter box with a suitable material like paper litter, odorless wood shavings or other small animal litter. The best hamster litter for sale will usually be paper or another moisture-absorbing, odor-controlling litter. You can use the same bedding you use to line your cage or pick a pelleted litter for easier spotting and scooping. You'll want to choose an absorbent material that makes removing messes easy, so avoid filling the box with things like large wood chips or hay. Hamster fleece liners are generally not the best hamster liners you can get for your litter box or your cage, either, as they aren't great at absorption or odor control and hamsters may chew the fleece.

Litter training your pets can make cleaning your hamster cages easier and let you go a little longer between bedding changes and deep cleans of your hamster habitats and playpens. Chewy has all the hamster supplies you need for potty purposes, cage maintenance, feeding and play. Stock up on essentials like hamster bedding, hamster food and hamster treats so you'll always have plenty on hand.
