How do hamsters spend the winter in autumn and winter?

Recently, the temperature difference between day and night is large. Are your mice huddled together?

A hamster wrapped in a "cotton-padded jacket" is not as warm as it looks. The ideal temperature for them to live is about 20 ~ 28℃, so hamsters are also very afraid of cold in autumn and winter. Today, I will share with you how to deal with the cold air in autumn and winter!

-Feeding things-

Hamsters don't hibernate, and they still need daily feeding in autumn and winter. In cold weather, hamsters need to consume their own fat to resist the cold. The fat comes from their usual food intake. At this time, in addition to normal feeding, we also need to prepare high-protein and high-fat foods for rats and mice, such as bread crumbs and melon seeds.

In particular, the golden bear is bigger, and its demand for protein is greater than that of other hamsters. Need to be fed with professional synthetic grain, which contains as much as 30% ingredients from protein, as well as nutrients such as fat, vitamins and trace elements that are more suitable for hamsters to absorb.

-Bedclothes-

Compared with refreshing bedding in summer, winter bedding should pay attention to keeping hamsters warm, and most of them choose sawdust with good warmth. When choosing sawdust, try to choose clean and less dust, which will easily affect the respiratory health of rats and mice. Rats dig their nests with thick sawdust, which is undoubtedly an amusement park!

-Environmental articles-

Don't put hamsters in the direct wind in winter. You can use pet heating pads, sawdust, cotton nests and other warm facilities to create a continuous warm environment for hamsters. When the temperature at home is too low, you can put the hamster in a room with air conditioning or heating, and be careful not to put it near the air conditioning outlet and warm air inlet ~

When the temperature at home is too low, you can turn on the air conditioner or electric heater to keep the hamster warm, but be careful not to let the hamster cage be directly blown by the air conditioner or too close to the electric heater.

3, padding: put more sawdust in the hamster cage, and then put some cotton for hamsters, hamsters will put it in, and then spread it into a warm nest. While keeping warm, it can also fully satisfy the entertainment of hamster drill. Extended data:

Condition 1. Provide multiple hiding places, which can be made of paper or wood. 2. 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. 3.
