There are so many hamster litters on the market, which one should you buy?

Hamsters are really cute, and they are not particularly difficult to raise, so they are very popular with everyone. The cost of raising hamsters is actually not large, and in addition to food, the most important expense is bedding. The bedding for raising hamsters is the same as the cat litter needed for raising cats, and it is a consumable with a relatively large consumption.

So there are so many hamster litters on the market, which one should you buy? Let's analyze the advantages and disadvantages of hamster litter.

First: paper cotton.

Personally, I think that the advantage of this kind of bedding is very obvious, that is, it has particularly good water absorption. However, in comparison, the cost performance of paper cotton is relatively low, and many people who raise hamsters will not choose to use it as bedding. If you are financially well-off, then choosing this material is definitely the best, much better than sawdust.

Second: wood pellets.

This should be the most frequently used litter for pet friends. The advantage of this kind of bedding is that it has excellent water absorption and deodorization. Of course, there is another reason why this kind of bedding is highly sought after, that is, it is cheap, slow to consume, and cost-effective.

However, the disadvantage of wood pellets is also more obvious, that is, for petite hamsters, it is not very comfortable to use, and the warmth is not too strong.

Third: cat litter.

Cat litter is designed to deodorize and absorb water, so in principle, it can meet the daily needs of hamsters. And using cat litter as litter, there is no need to replace all the litter at once, you only need to clean up the urine ball. However, the dust of cat litter will be relatively large, and it doesn't matter if the cat uses it, but for the super mini hamsters, if the dust is too large, it will seriously affect their health.

In addition, the reason why it is not recommended to use cat litter is that hamsters are easy to eat by mistake!

Fourth: corn cob.

This kind of bedding can be said to be the cheapest, but it is cheaper, but the performance is not good. This material does not absorb water well, and it does not deodorize much, if there is another choice, it is still not recommended to use this kind of bedding.

Of course, I bought some thick and cottony ones, and such a mat is particularly good. Therefore, it is quite comfortable to use, and such a good mat can be used for a longer time.

Hamster bedding has paper cotton, sawdust, corn cob, cat litter, etc., paper cotton has the best water absorption, you can choose.

You can buy sawn wood bedding, which is lightweight and more importantly very easy to clean.

Summer sleepy hamsters use cat litter and corn cobs as bedding, because the weather is hot in summer, you should choose a more breathable and cool bedding, which is better for hamsters, cat litter can absorb water and odor, and it is easier to disperse temperature than sawdust, and it is more convenient to clean. In summer, hamsters use cat litter and corn cobs to make Zheng no bedding, because the weather is hot in summer, you should choose a more breathable and cool bedding, which is better for hamsters.

Cat litter can absorb water and odor, and it is easier to dissipate temperature than sawdust, and it is more convenient to clean. Corn cobs absorb water better and are suitable for a slightly hot summer. You can also add a layer of deodorized activated charcoal wood pellets on top.

In order to cool down the hamster, you can buy a cooling version or an igloo, which can effectively reduce the temperature and make the hamster live more comfortably. And remember to prepare a large kettle for the hamster, the hamster will drink a lot of water in the summer.

Summer hamsters can use the following litter:

Wood chips: One of hamsters' favorite litter that has good breathability and softness to help improve hamster comfort. It is important to note that wood chips need to be replaced regularly to avoid the accumulation of dust and bacteria.

Grass mats: can provide a cool resting environment for hamsters while absorbing their urine and feces, helping to control humidity and provide extra food and entertainment. When choosing a straw mat, you should choose one that is soft and not easy to deform.

Corn cob: It has good breathability, is easy to clean and clean, and also has a certain softness to be able to provide a certain level of comfort. It should be noted that if hamsters like to nibble on objects, they should avoid using corn cob bedding to avoid digestive problems caused by accidental ingestion.

Cat litter: Cat litter has strong water absorption and deodorization ability, is cheap, and has good air permeability, which is more suitable for hamsters to use in summer. However, it is necessary to pay attention to choosing cat litter with less dust to avoid affecting the respiratory tract and urinary system of hamsters.

Paper pellets: It has the advantages of good water absorption and no sound when stepping on it, but it has poor deodorization and is easy to smell in summer.

In conclusion, the choice of hamster litter in summer needs to consider air permeability, water absorption and deodorization, and at the same time change the litter at the rock stage to maintain hygiene and concealment cleanliness. When choosing litter, it should also be tried to avoid affecting the health of the hamster.

As follows:

Sawdust] The most traditional and most used hamster bedding! In addition to the male Shih Tzu bear and the male long-haired bear outside the spring slag, suitable for all kinds of hamsters, water absorption and odor absorption are general, **cheap, please try to buy less dust when you buy quietly.

Cat litter] cat litter is better to use in summer, more refreshing, in-laws can be used to remove oil, many rat friends since the cat litter, even bath sand can not be bought, rats and mice are directly rolling cat litter, ** is also very cheap!

In addition, Hu Yuan's recent summer sand on the market is actually just cat litter with fragrance, relatively small particles, and relatively high **, and the composition is the same as bentonite.

Rats and rats who use cat litter for the first time may hide cat litter in their cheek pouches out of curiosity, but don't worry, rats are not stupid, and they usually spit out immediately after finding that they can't eat them! If you are really not at ease, you can gently push the cheek pouch of the rat, it will spit out, repeat again, and the rat will never eat again!

Forage] Because of the long-haired bears and Shih Tzu bears, it is difficult to remove the sawdust because of the sticky hairs of the sawdust, so all the general hairy bears and Shih Tzu bears use forage as bedding in winter.

Among all kinds of forage, we are more commonly used as bedding materials are Timothy grass and rye grass, alfalfa grass is harder, and the nutrient content is too high, mice and mice eat more urine calcium, it is not recommended to make bedding.

The grass can give the SS a natural grass scent and can also add a bit of wilderness to the cage.

However, it should be noted that if you only have hamsters at home, don't buy too much pasture at once, especially in the rainy season in the south, if it is not well preserved, the grass is easy to deteriorate and even moldy.

Wood pellets]**There are cheap and expensive, the amount is large, it is very odorous, and it is very good to use it as a toilet for bear hamsters.

Poor quality wood pellets can easily turn pink when exposed to water, which may have an impact on the respiratory tract of rats and rats, so it is best not to buy poor quality wood pellets cheaply.

Some of the wood cat litter in cat litter is also wood pellets, so you don't have to buy wood pellets for pets.

Paper pellets] ** is more expensive, the dosage is large, the water absorption is good, the odor absorption is general, and there is no or very little dust.

The paper cat litter in the cat litter is also paper pellets, so you don't have to buy paper pellets for pets.

Wood chips belong to the cheapest form of litter. Affordable to use for newbies. Single-use and easy to discard.

However, it is not recommended except for emergency and winter dwarf hamsters.

Especially bear-like hamsters, which can be called miserable after use.

Because wood chips are very poor in deodorization in summer. And sawdust and soft hamsters like to drill down. Some active hamsters often get the outside of the cage all over the place.

End cat litter.

There are many types of cat litter, and the cheaper ones are home-made cat litter, which is prototype granular. The cooling effect is good and it is more absorbent. However, it is easy to be crushed by large fat rats.

There is also a corn or green tea flavored cylindrical cat litter. This kind of one is not easy to crush. The water absorption is very good. In the summer, it is cooler as a bedding material and has a good deodorizing effect. Recommended for summer.

Corn cob, wood kernels.

This is recommended for long-haired hamsters. Not easy to crush and absorb water. It's not hairy yet. But in winter, it needs to be used with other litter to keep warm.

end paper cotton.

There are many kinds and many brands of paper cotton. Generally, everyone uses N1 paper cotton. Absorbs water and keeps warm. Upper bedding options for winter.

The disadvantage is that there will be dust when the package is opened.

Stuff that kind of thing with sawdust shavings. There are places that sell hamsters.

01 Thin sawdust Then what litter to use for hamsters in summer, we can add some thin sawdust to hamsters, which can not only keep warm, but also cool down properly.

02 Cat litter Then we can also add some cat litter, which can add some cat litter to our hamsters, which can reduce the heat of summer, and also make our hamsters have a good sleep quality.

03 Urine sand Urine sand is also a good choice for our hamsters to get through the hot summer while also being easy to obtain.

04 corn cob Then we can fold the corn cob into slices as a hamster litter, which can be seen from the corn root above, it has a good cooling effect, and at the same time has a good warming effect at night, we can use it to make bedding for hamsters in summer.

Summer is coming, what kind of bedding should be used for rats? Let's discuss the advantages and disadvantages of various hamster bedding materials in summer.

Cat litter and summer sand.

Cat litter and summer sand are basically the same thing, both are bentonite, so let's talk about them together. Cat litter and summer sand are my first choice for making bedding for rats and rats in summer, which are very refreshing and can also remove oil. It should be noted that rats and mice who use cat litter or summer sand for the first time may put cat litter or summer sand into their mouths out of curiosity, and the owner should stop it immediately after discovering it, and push out the cat litter or summer sand in the mouse sac cheeks with his hands.

Wheat sand is a kind of bedding material that is relatively red recently, basically no dust, but it will still be a little small particles after encountering water, and the odor absorption is very good, but it is a little expensive.

Wood pellets Wood pellets are quite odorous and refreshing to use, but rats make sounds when they move around, and they will turn into powder when they encounter water.

Paper grains Paper grains, rats and mice have no sound when stepping on them, the water absorption is good but the odor absorption is very general, it will be easier to stink in summer, and it is also more expensive.

carefresh

Recently, it is a very red bedding material, which absorbs water and odor very well, and is very suitable for lazy rat friends who do not like to wash cages, but it is expensive, and it is relatively hot in summer, so you can use a little to make a nest for bears.

Sawdust Sawdust is the most used traditional bedding material, it is hotter in summer, and it is easy to stink, it is not too recommended to use, if you really want to use sawdust, you can spread it thinner.

Corn cob corn cob ** is cheap, it will not become powder when exposed to water, but water absorption and odor absorption are very general, and rats and mice will produce aspergillus fungus more easily than other bedding materials after peeing on this bedding material, and promote the growth of this fungus.

Aspergillus fungus may cause health problems such as drowsiness, wheezing, blood in the urine, inflammation, and long-term diarrhea in hamsters.

If rat friends use this kind of bedding, they must pay attention to cleaning, and it is best to replace the urine stained bedding every day.

I hope it can help you, if you don't know anything, you can ask.

Resources.

The shavings are too big to deal with a little by yourself, which is economical, especially good in summer.

Peanut shells, low cost, play the role of bedding materials, but also grind teeth.

Pieces of cardboard, labor-saving, hamsters will gnaw into bedding by themselves if they have nothing to do, but don't use film, colored and ink-smelling.

If you use one or two of the above together, it's even more perfect!

Our pet stores all use wood chips, but they are relatively broken wood chips, and Kokura can bury himself in them

LZ can put the small warehouse in a shady place.

Don't listen to other people's nonsense, the entanglement is basically a hamster that has not been born for a long time, and there is a chance for this thing, not to mention that people may have accidental death. Anyway, I gave the Alex Sweet Dream Quilt, although it didn't smell good, but it was warmer than the absorbent cotton I used before. Hamsters can't be stupid enough to eat cotton, they just stuff their cheeks into their cheek pouches and spit them out to pile cotton, you just need to put enough cotton and sawdust yourself.

My family also loves to play with cotton in their mouths.

With a little more wood chips than usual, hamsters will burrow under the wood chips to keep warm... The reason why you want to put more is that if there are too few wood chips, the hamster will feel cold when it gets under the bottom of the cage

I'm good for your hamster

By the way, don't listen to other people's nonsense, the haunted ones are basically hamsters that have just been born for a long time, and there are chances of this thing, not to mention that people may have accidental death. Anyway, I gave the Alex Sweet Dream Quilt, although it didn't smell good, but it was warmer than the absorbent cotton I used before. Hamsters aren't stupid enough to eat cotton, they just stuff their cheeks into their cheeks and spit them out to play with the cotton, you just have to put enough cotton and wood chips.
