Is hamster afraid of cold in winter? How to keep warm?

Hamsters are still afraid of cold in winter. Generally speaking, the room temperature of 18-25 degrees Celsius is most suitable for hamsters. In summer, the temperature is close to or over 30 degrees Celsius, so appropriate measures should be taken to cool the hamster for summer.

In cold weather, pet owners can cover their cages with clothes and prepare cotton nests for hamsters to keep warm. Feeding hamsters more food to store enough fat will also help them keep out the cold.
