1 Food cooked by humans should not be eaten

Because the food we eat often contains salt, oil and various condiments, and repeated cooking will also cause the food to become worse during the heating process. greasy.

This will increase the metabolic burden on the hamster's body. We need to know that the gastrointestinal digestive function of rats is relatively weak, so they cannot eat humans.

2 Do not let hamsters come into frequent contact with the sun

The heat dissipation ability of the hamster's body is not very good. As long as the temperature is too high or the sun shines on it for a long time, it may suffer from heat stroke.

Especially in summer, scavengers should pay attention to whether the air in the rat cage is smooth and avoid stuffiness, so as to prevent the hamster from becoming uncomfortable due to too much heat.

3 Don't give water to rats! Take a bath

The difference between hamsters and cats and dogs is that they cannot take a bath with water. We need to use bath sand specially designed for rats and mice. Why can’t rats be bathed with water?

This is mainly because washing with water can easily cause it to catch a cold, because the rat’s hair is too dense and too thin, making it difficult to dry it within a short time after taking a bath.

Cold is a fatal disease for hamsters, so we must not do this.

4 It is forbidden to feed raw water to hamsters

Do not give untreated tap water to rats and mice to drink, because this kind of tap water contains more "chlorine", and rats and mice drink it. You may get "chlorine poisoning" later.

It is recommended that the poop scooper boil the tap water first and wait until the water cools down before giving it to the rats.

5 It is forbidden to keep multiple hamsters in the same cage

Don’t think that hamsters usually look cute and cute. As long as multiple hamsters are together, they will easily fight. Hamsters Do not keep hamsters in cages since they are solitary animals.

6 The breeding environment should avoid noise

Hamsters are timid animals, so their living environment needs to be kept quiet and avoid placing the cage in a noisy place.

If rats become stressed due to being frightened, it may lead to disease.

7 Don't use waste paper. Use as cage bedding

Good bedding can not only keep warm, but also clean and deodorize, which is very useful for keeping the mouse cage clean and hygienic.

It is recommended that if the scrapper is not in urgent need or emergency, he should not put newspapers and other waste paper in the mouse cage. Not only does it smell too strong, but this type of paper has poor water absorption and warmth retention properties.

8 The space of the mouse cage should not be too small

The space must have at least water bottles, food bowls, dens, running wheels and other supplies. Excessive obesity in hamsters increases stress on the heart, leading to short life, and may also lead to cage paralysis.

A hamster suffering from cage paralysis has basically no strength in its hind legs, and it completely drags its hind legs forward in action.
