How to cool hamsters in summer to prevent heatstroke?

Hamster is a small pet with strong adaptability, and likes a dry and warm environment. However, in the hot summer, it is easy to get heatstroke because you can't sweat and dissipate heat. Therefore, we need to take some measures to help pet hamsters prevent heatstroke.

The following are some effective measures:

1. Ensure water source: In hot summer, pet hamsters will consume water faster. Therefore, it is necessary to provide enough fresh water for pets to ensure that the basin is always clean and full of water.

2. Keep ventilated: It is hot in summer, so it is necessary to provide a cool and ventilated environment for pets to avoid the high temperature. But please try to avoid exposing hamsters directly to windy places.

3. Cooling equipment: pet hamsters can be provided with some cooling equipment, such as ice bottles and sun umbrellas, to help them cool down.

4. Reduce the temperature appropriately: When the indoor temperature exceeds 25 degrees, please turn on the air conditioner or electric fan to reduce the temperature and provide a cool environment for the pet hamster.

5. Avoid hot food: In summer, especially when the weather is hot, try to avoid feeding hot food to pet hamsters, such as peppers and sugar baked foods.

Finally, when you find that your pet hamster has symptoms of heatstroke such as dry mouth, high body temperature or shortness of breath, please go to the veterinarian for treatment immediately.
