What is the suitable temperature for hamsters to live in and the highest and lowest temperatures they can tolerate?

24-25 degrees is the standard temperature, which cannot be higher than 30 degrees or lower than 16 degrees.

However, it can generally survive above 16 degrees as long as it is not exposed to this temperature for a long time.

In winter, you should pay attention to adding more padding. In fact, tearing toilet paper into strips can make the padding soft and warm.

In summer, it should be placed in a ventilated and cool place. It can be placed in an air-conditioned room but do not blow the air conditioner directly.

Raising taboos

Cages smaller than 3200cm2 cannot provide enough space for any rodents, and the ventilation is not smooth, causing harmful gases and excessive accumulation of heat, leading to mucosal irritation, pneumonia and other health problems. In addition, small cages can also cause communication barriers for animals that originally live in groups, so they should not be used as a long-term breeding option.

The mesh shape and the diameter of the running wheel are too small, which prevents the hamster from straightening its back and is more likely to cause permanent spinal damage. and may get stuck and break limbs.

Plastic pipes, crowded and unable to turn around, make hamsters feel oppressed and anxious. Vertical pipes can easily cause injury to hamsters, and are difficult to clean and ventilate. Pipes should not be used to replace a hamster's natural burrowing process.

Plastic running ball will affect the hamster's judgment of the external environment and cause injury due to impact or fall. The ventilation holes on the running ball cannot meet the needs.

Other plastic toys contain softeners that will be dissolved by gastric acid, turning them into hard and sharp fragments that can cause damage to the digestive tract.

Leashes can cause strangulation, restrict the animal's freedom of movement, and cause anxiety. (Only a small number of very domesticated rabbits among rodents can use leashes under adult guidance.)

Use cotton or other filamentous fibers as nest materials, which will entangle the hamster's limbs and block the cheeks. There should be no chemical additions such as flavors or pigments.

A sudden feed change may cause mild diarrhea, while spoiled feed can cause very severe diarrhea (also called wet tail). Severe diarrhea will cause a large amount of electrolytes to be lost and endanger the hamster's life.

Play them on tables, chairs, or in the palm of your hand (unless there is a flat surface nearby for safe landing). Too high a platform in the cage is also unsafe, as hamsters are not sensitive to height differences.

Other pets at home, such as cats and dogs, are close to you, and they naturally feed on small animals.

It disturbs hamsters during the day when they are resting, so they are also not suitable as pets for children who go to bed early.

Give your hamster access to indoor plants and collect fallen leaves or petals.

Food fed to humans (high salt, high sugar, additives).

Eating a lot of fruits, except in the laboratory and wild environments, all available Gacalia hamsters may carry the Campbell gene and are susceptible to diabetes.
