1. Dehumidification: If you have the conditions at home, you can use a dehumidifier to dehumidify when the weather is wet, or turn on the dehumidification function of the air conditioner, which will make the living environment of hamsters drier.

2. Attention should be paid to the preservation of bedding: if the bedding of hamsters is a material that is easy to get wet, such as grass, the owner should pay more attention to the preservation of bedding when the weather is wet to avoid grass deterioration and mildew. The owner should smell them before using them. If they go bad, they can't be used any more. When the weather is wet, you can choose corncob, sawdust and the like as padding, which is less likely to get wet.

3. Change the mat frequently: When the weather is wet, the owner should change the mat frequently to avoid the mat being damp, otherwise the mat is likely to cause skin diseases to hamsters. Hamster cages should also be cleaned regularly, because wet weather is easy to breed bacteria and easily lead to hamster infection. The cleaned cage should be thoroughly dried before it can be used again, so as to avoid hamsters getting sick and catching a cold.

4. Avoid hamsters hiding food: When the weather is wet, food is more likely to deteriorate, so the food that hamsters hide in their cheek pouches must be cleaned regularly, otherwise it is likely to cause inflammation of the cheek pouches after deterioration. Moreover, if hamsters eat bad food, they will have diarrhea and even cause enteritis, which is very harmful to their health.

5, drying hamster supplies: If the sun comes out, it is necessary to take out hamster supplies to dry in time, and rat food can also be taken out to dry, to remove moisture and mildew. However, it should be noted that hamsters should not be exposed to the sun, which is easy to die.

In addition to the precautions mentioned above, the owner should also pay attention to keep the hamster warm in wet weather. If necessary, he can dress the hamster, or let it stay in a warmer room to ensure that the hamster will not catch cold. If you still have questions about keeping hamsters, you can also consult an online pet doctor.
