Matters needing attention in raising hamsters

Cage with 1 and chassis area greater than 0.5m2

2. Provide multiple hiding places, which can be made of paper or wood.

3. The thickness of the padding is not less than 20cm, and the raw materials of the nest material should be soft, including dust-free shavings and straws.

4. The diameter of the running wheel required by dwarf hamster and bear hamster should be larger than 20cm and 30cm respectively, and the suitable running wheel should have a closed running surface.

If you use a cage made of glass or plastic, please make sure that the top is open for ventilation.

6. Wash the wet bedding, food basin and water dispenser every day, and clean the whole cage every month, but it is recommended to keep some old bedding to let hamsters adapt to the smell.

7. For dwarfs and golden hamsters, the whole cage should be cleaned once a month and once every 14 days respectively, and the air should be released regularly (requiring care).

8. Dwarf hamsters can be kept in cages or alone. However, caged hamsters have high requirements for their social adaptability, and they are generally raised alone.

Hamsters are small to large rodents. Short and thick, weighing 30 ~1000g. The tail length varies from 7 ~ 106mm, which is generally half of the body length, without scales, covered with dense hair, and a few species (such as desert hamster) are very short, less than half of the hind feet; In some species, females are larger than males.

Extended data:

Summer and winter are two difficult seasons for hamsters, and the precautions in these two seasons are as follows:

1, summer

Hamsters are afraid of heat, so they should keep indoor air circulation when summer comes. Besides, don't take hamsters out in summer. If necessary, you can use some cold insulation equipment.

2. Winter?

Hamsters are not very hardy. Generally speaking, hamsters hibernate when the temperature is below 10 degrees. Once this happens, hamsters will live a shorter life after waking up. Pay attention to keep warm, spread more sawdust and warm equipment.
