We used to use a big pickle jar turned on its side, as it allows them to stand on the curved sides and it keeps their feet out of the way when they wee.
We started off putting in bits of soiled paper, and once he got the hang of it (only a few days) , it was a case of just washing the jar out a morning and night.

These ones are the best for hams http://www.petplanet.co.uk/product.asp?dept_id=446&pf_id=52720&co=fr . If it's a Syrian hamster they will need the 8" so they don't curve their backs too much when running :wave:

I put litter boxes into the corners he natuarally peed in and then put wood pellet cat litter in there covered with some hemp stuff (I use on his floor ... aubiouse or something) and put some dirty hemp stuff in there as well. Every time I clean him out I put a bit of dirty stuff back in so he always knows where to go.

I use jars. Put some pee soaked bedding and poo in the jar so they'll understand to go in there. My hams always pee in their litterpans and poop a little. All the rest of their poop is in their nest, which is simple to clean because their nests are cardboard boxes so I just throw them away every few days.
