Hamster training and learning tricks is something I'd like to look into more. My vet said you can do clicker training, like you do with dogs. On that note, these are some of my favourite hamster videos on the topic!
Hamster Parcours/agility course
The person who made the video explains how it was done "TO LEARN IT: I started with just small obstacles, pulling with a seed and giving it once it happened. Then a sequence by framing can be done (by kinds of walls on the sides) and putting the seed after. And when he understood more need walls, you can do the same with other stuff (rocker, tunnel) and vary the shapes of the course (straight line, rectangle, circle ...). But all the hamsters are not able and do not want, to do that !!
For equipment that is simple: playmobil barriers and PQ or paper towel roll is perfect for the rest it was my father who made for me"
This one is amazing!
And this one is the best - a Chinese hamster
