    No. There are several aspects to the role of raising hamsters using sawdust: First, moisture absorption. Wood chips can absorb the urine excreted by hamsters, keep the nest dry, and reduce unpleasant odors.

    Second, wood chips can act as a source of warmth and shelter. Hamsters pile up wood chips to keep warm or hide in them for a good night's sleep. Third, hamsters have a habit of digging, and saddwood chips can satisfy this habit.

    In addition, wood chips are non-toxic and are sometimes used by hamsters to grind their teeth.

    To sum up, if there is no sawdust, you can use cat litter instead, if you don't have cat litter, you can use a clean and unscented paper towel, just shred the paper towel and give it more. Don't use newspapers, the lead ink on them is poisonous.

    No, because the sand can't be gnawed by hamsters. I've raised it, and if you think it's too much trouble to use sawdust, you can use newspaper pads. But remember that the pad must be a little less so that it does not gnaw.

    No, you can't, you can't, the sawdust is moisture-proof and warm, you can't replace it with anything else, or why not use sand.

    Hamsters aren't raised on cat litter! It is usually padded with sawdust or paper pellets! The reason is that it is very warm, can make a sleeping nest, and is highly absorbent!

    If it's not convenient to go out, you can use lead-free paper instead, or use unscented toilet paper, or cotton! It can be replaced with a warmer and more absorbent one...

    I hope the baby can grow up healthy and healthy!

    Hamsters use sand, and because hamsters are prone to get sick when bathing with water, they use sand for bathing.

    Sawdust can be used to keep warm, dehumidify, etc., and placed in a hamster nest.

    Sawdust does not have to be present, as it is also possible to feed without this hamster. But it is recommended to have it, because sawdust can have the effect of absorbing moisture and removing odor, especially in summer.

    Hamster is a general term for the hamster subfamily. There are seven genera and eighteen large species, mainly distributed in Asia, a few in Europe, of which there are three genera and eight species in China. With the exception of small hamsters found in Central Asia, all other species of hamsters have buccal pouches on both cheeks, extending from the molars to the shoulders.

    It can be used for temporary storage or carrying food back to the hole for storage, so it is called hamster, also known as gills, moving hamsters, although it often cleans up the hair, but it is still difficult to eliminate a peculiar smell on the body, so if people raise it, they must use rat sand every day to dispel odor. Hamsters are mainly nocturnal and have poor eyesight, so they can only distinguish shapes and colors, and they can only distinguish black and white. Olfaction.

    You're talking about wild hamsters, but now we are raising hamsters that have been artificially bred for countless generations, and most of their wild genes and habits have been degraded, and their resistance is not as good as that of wild ancestors, just like human beings, who used to live in an era without air conditioning, winter and summer have passed, but now, without air conditioning, we will feel very difficult!

    The sawdust is sterilized, there are no curative bacteria, and the excess immunity is much worse than that of wild hamsters, which is undoubtedly very safe!

    Yes, wood chips absorb moisture and odor a little better. And the sawdust is lightweight, clean, warm, and not expensive. Pet stores sell them.

    It's okay in the summer, but when the weather is cooler, the sawdust keeps warmer

    The sand doesn't suck, and the sand stinks at home!

    And it is not warm in winter.

    Because the sand will be very hot in the summer after the sun is shining, so. It seems so.

    Use pad sand or cat litter in summer, use sawdust in winter, there is no specific time for changing sawdust, as long as the weather is cold (you feel cold) can be used exclusively, and if the air conditioner is a little cold at home, you can also put a little, not too much, too hot in summer will cause heat stroke.

    1. In fact, it is better to use sawdust in winter, and it also plays a role in keeping warm, so remember to change it frequently. The wood chips used by hamsters are supposed to be changed once every few days, and if they are not changed often, they will stink, and there may be insects in summer. Personally, I don't think it's as good as sawdust, because urine sand is not warm in winter, and urine sand will clump when urinated, so you have to use a spoon to take out the urine and throw it away, and the poop will be obvious.

Hamsters are solitary animals, generally raise one, if there is a pair of hamsters living together for a long time, this situation can raise a pair, if they are forced to take them apart, then SS will not eat or drink, because he thinks that his friend is gone, this place is not safe. If you are raising for the first time, it is recommended that you raise SS for 5 to 6 months, because the bigger hamster will not bite, even if it bites, it will be light and heavy, if you bite it hurts, you tell it gently, you can't bite, and it will know after a few times. Bigger hamsters are smarter. >>>More
