Hamsters are very cute little pets, but compared to small pets like rabbits and chinchillas, hamsters' lives seem to be more fragile. Therefore, if you decide to raise a hamster, you must take good care of this fragile little life. Although hamsters are cheap, they are still small lives. Don’t kill them because of your mistakes. If you want to raise a hamster well, you must pay attention to these 10 points!

First: Don’t keep them in separate cages

< p>Hamsters like to live alone. If you don't want to breed, don't keep the hamsters in a cage together, as it will cause bloodshed. In addition, even if you plan to breed, please be mentally prepared. The reproductive ability of rats is very powerful.

Second: Do not let them bask in the sun directly, they will heat to death

Hamsters are very afraid of heat, so it is best not to put hamsters in places where the sun will shine directly in summer. When raising hamsters in summer, you can use a cage with good ventilation and place it in a cool and ventilated place.

Third: Don’t bathe hamsters

Hamsters don’t need a bath, they will clean their bodies by themselves. In addition, the living environment and eating habits of hamsters determine that they will not be too dirty, so please do not bathe your hamster if it is not necessary. Let’s not talk about whether bathing will make hamsters sick. Just scaring a timid hamster can scare him to death.

Fourth: Don’t feed random things

Just feed the hamster hamster food or some special food. Do not feed human food. The food eaten by humans contains heavy seasonings, which will increase the burden on the body of smaller hamsters and affect their health.

Fifth: Don’t feed untreated tap water

Untreated tap water contains a lot of chlorine, and hamsters may be poisoned if they drink it. You can boil the tap water, let it cool down and boil it to feed the hamsters.

Sixth: Don’t choose newspaper as bedding material

There are many types of bedding materials for hamster cages, most of which are inexpensive and very easy to use. If it is not an emergency, do not put newspaper or other bedding in the hamster cage. The smell of ink is too strong, and its water absorption and warmth retention properties are not good. It is not the best bedding material for hamsters.

Seventh: Give the hamster enough space to move.

Although the hamster does not need too much space, it still needs to move. If conditions permit, please buy a relatively large "hamster villa" for your hamster, preferably with climbing paths and rollers to allow the hamster to move around.

Eighth: The breeding environment should not be too noisy

Hamsters are timid and need to be raised in a quiet environment. If you raise a hamster in a particularly noisy place, it will be difficult for the hamster to live peacefully, and it may even be scared to death.
