How to judge the hibernation and death of hamsters?

Hamsters don't hibernate, but they go into "pseudo-hibernation" when the temperature is low. Move hamsters to a warm place and pay attention to their heartbeat and breathing. Pseudohibernating hamsters will have weak heartbeat and breathing, while dead hamsters will not change.

When hamsters are in a pseudo-hibernation state, be careful not to put them on things like radiators or thermos bottles in a hurry, but near hot objects. Excessive temperature will make hamsters entering pseudo hibernation unbearable, and huge temperature difference may directly kill hamsters. In a hot environment, hamsters will gradually show some reactions, such as a little trembling beard.

In addition, hamsters can be given some warm diluted glucose to make them recover as soon as possible. The hamster may be unstable at first, and the breeder can feed some glucose or digestible food to help the hamster recover its strength.

Precautions for hamsters in winter:

In the case of low temperature or insufficient food, hamsters will appear false hibernation, so ensuring a warm environment is conducive to preventing hamsters from false hibernation. The weather turns cold in autumn, and the ceramic nest used in summer is replaced with cotton nest.

If there is no cotton nest, you can give hamsters more cotton and let them stuff it into the nest to keep warm. It's best to choose paper cotton or cotton with strong warmth, so that they don't have to be afraid of the cold outside the nest.

Don't use heating items such as hot water bottles or baby warmers. These items do keep warm, but they are dangerous. The temperature is difficult to control. If you are not careful, you may hurt the hamster. If the room temperature at home is low, the content of fat and protein should be appropriately increased when preparing feed for hamsters, so that chubby hamsters can resist the cold with their own fat.
