Ad - contains Amazon/other affiliate links. We earn a commission, at no extra cost to you, to support forum costs.
The Hamster Forum now has it's own Amazon storefront 
Note: This is just for Uk Amazon - I will do a USA one as well when I have time!
All it is, is curated lists of hamster-safe items, in categories, so a list for wheels, a list for bedding, a list for houses and hides, a list for accessories and water bowls etc etc. As with the affiliate links, if a product is bought from the storefront page, then the forum receives a small commission. However, for regular members it is maybe much easier to use than hunting for affiliate links in various places on here if going to buy bedding or sand etc! It's also a lot less work than trying to look up things individually and create affiliate links!
Obviously it is limited to things that are sold by Amazon but it does have quite a lot of choice for certain things like ceramic hides and sand and bedding etc. However you might find some things cheaper somewhere else, but the storefront is there as an option
It popped up from Amazon recently suggesting I create one and it seemed like a good idea. What I like about it is, for anyone who isn't sure, our storefront lists only include the items that are safe for hamsters, have large enough entrances and no risky small holes anywhere and I've labelled various things as Syrian sized or dwarf sized as well. The notes/labels aren't that obvious - they appear as a little circle with two dots in the middle on the image of the product. Click on that and the note opens up.
I think the accessories and bowls sections are very helpful - for me as well! As it has all the suitable pet carriers in one place, all the suitable water and other dishes in one place, and bottle holders. And there is a long list of suitable ceramic hides. There is also a surprisingly long list of paper bedding! All the varieties of Bucatstate paper bedding are now on Amazon along with various other options, such as coco bedding, aspen options and megazorb as well, plus hemp mats.
As with affiliate links, I need to disclose that the link below is an Amazon Associate link, from which we earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you, which helps support forum running costs
The link to the storefront however (below), can only be linked on an owned site - so it can't be shared in other places or linked on other sites. Just to let you know. I will sticky this post so it's easy to find, but the easiest way to find it, after clicking on the link, is to bookmark it so you have a bookmark on your phone or computer so you can go directly there if doing any hamster shopping or Amazon shopping It still works as a normal Amazon site as well, so as well as the curated lists, if you click on an item, you can just use the standard Amazon search box as well.
So here's the storefront link
Incidentally the Omlet playpen, in both sizes, is now available on Amazon as well as direct from Omlet, but I would check the pricing in case it's cheaper in one place or the other and I've added our Omlet affiliate link for it below as well. At the moment it is the same price in both places, but there are sometimes sales with 20% off.
