Can hamsters freeze to death at 10?

Hamsters are likely to freeze to death at a temperature of 10 degrees. Although hamster can resist the cold to a certain extent, its suitable living temperature range is narrow, usually 18℃ to 24℃. When the temperature is lower than this range, the hamster's body temperature may drop, resulting in body function damage and even death.

Hamster is a small animal sensitive to temperature and adapts to a warmer environment. At lower temperatures, their metabolism will be reduced, their body functions will be inhibited, and even lead to hypothermia and death. In addition, hamsters are also very sensitive to sharp temperature changes, and too fast temperature drop will cause great pressure on them.

In order to protect hamsters from cold weather, you can take the following measures:

1. Provide warm shelter: provide hamsters with enough beds and warm nests, such as sawdust and confetti. You can also place an incubator or heating lamp near its cage to provide additional heat source.

2. Check the room temperature: make sure that the temperature of the room or area where the hamster is located is not lower than 18 degrees Celsius, so as to avoid the temperature being too low.

3. Avoid temperature changes: Try to avoid exposing hamsters to sudden temperature changes, for example, don't place them near air conditioners or heating outlets.
