🐹【Hamster Care】(Part 2)

A Happy Hamster Life Starts with You! 💖

Part 1️⃣: Choosing the Right Hamster Cage

When selecting a hamster cage, keep these points in mind:

• "A mansion is better than a small box!" Choose a spacious and tall cage over a narrow one.
• Simplicity is key: The simpler the interior structure, the better! Avoid overly complicated cages with narrow gaps.
• Ventilation: Hamsters are prone to heatstroke in the summer, so make sure the cage is well-ventilated and provides shaded areas.
• Safety first: Keep the metal bars far apart to prevent the hamster from hurting itself or getting stuck.
• Easy cleaning: Remember, you’re the one doing the cleaning! Make sure the cage is easy to maintain. 🧽

Part 2️⃣: Setting Up Your Hamster’s Home

To ensure a long and happy life with your hamster, you’ll need to provide the essentials:

• Water bottle
• Food bowl
• Exercise wheel
• Litter box
• Bathing area
• Hideout
  Make sure the hamster feels safe and comfortable in its new home! 💖

Part 3️⃣: Keeping Your Hamster Healthy

Health is the top priority! Here are some important care tips:

• Daily food: Provide the right amount of food each day. Remember, sunflower seeds are not their main diet. Only offer one or two every 3-5 days to avoid weight gain. 🌻
• Comfortable bedding:
  • Avoid: Newspaper, towels, cloth, sand, and dusty wood chips.
  • Best bedding options: Paper towels, cotton paper, or lab-grade wood shavings.
• Maintain the right temperature: Keep the cage temperature at 25°C (77°F). Use a cooling pad in summer to prevent heatstroke and a warming lamp in winter to avoid hibernation.
• Additional items: You can also provide chewing sticks and hamster toys to keep your pet entertained. 🧸
