I usually give my hamster out of the cage time every day for about 20 - 30 minutes.
What I usually do is put some bedding in toys in the bathtub (no water, of course, I just use the bathtub like a play pet) and then sit down in it myself and let my hamster run over me and play with his toys.

I have 3 hamsters, they tend to have at least 20 to 30 minutes 'outside' play each...
depends on their moods to be honest...
Sometimes one wont want to come play one evening, so that hammy's time is extra and shared between the other 2.

You can see cords that have been but up high enough that she cant get to them because they are very harmful if any animal chews on them. You will want to pick up anything on the floor you hamster should not eat. Any wholes or doors they can get threw or under block them off. And you have to watch them at all times you can't leave them for a short amout of time because you will come back and chances are he/she will be gone some how..
Then just make it fun with hiding a couple treats and puting tubes or paper tubes down and also anything els you have for your hamster to play with.
I let Cooki run aroud there for 45min. to an hr. so she burns out all she chewing on the bars energy lol.

I usually let my hamster run around in his ball for an hour or sometimes longer. He just never seems to get bored. I play with him for about 15 minutes before i put him the ball. If i dont have time to let him out for that long one night he'll chew on the bars like crazy. I think he does that when hes bored.

i take my hamsters out for 20-30 mins a day. i have a playpen that i put some toys in and also let them crawl on me and my desk. they're always so excited to come out so they're so hyper. i wish i had more time to take them out :(

Wow...your hammie likes to be in his ball for an hour or more?!?
My hammie likes her ball but after 15 minutes she tries to climb back into her cage...not sucessfully of course cause shes in her ball....but thne i just play with her some and that seems to tucker her out enough.
