How to care for hamsters, how to care for hamsters

Nursing??? The scope is so wide, how can I say it

In short, it's easy to raise when you get started

In the winter, stuff cotton or paper towel strips into the nest

If possible, you can buy a cabin

The main thing is that the indoor temperature should not be too low

I've had 2 of them before, and they're all dead, so I can't help you.

Hamsters are actually not difficult, my pp and sniff are very well-behaved. You make hamster food, and breadworms or something. Remember the things that grind your teeth.

Padding sawdust in the cage, feeding food regularly, bathing occasionally, and nothing else.

1. Replace the supply of water and food at least once a day, and observe whether there is anything blocked at the outlet of the kettle, and clean it up in time;

2. Bedding, hamsters usually urinate in a fixed place, so when changing the water every day, the damp sawdust should be cleaned out by the way and replaced with clean sawdust. At the same time, clean the chassis mat once a day. Do not wash and clean the whole plate every day, so as not to make the hamster irritable due to the frequent changes in the environment;

3. Nests, hamsters generally hide food in the nest, and at the same time pick up some sawdust to spread in the nest to keep warm. The nest is where they feel safest. Therefore, the cleaning of the nest needs to be carried out when the hamster is not there, and the food that has been placed for too long should be cleaned up in time, and the bedding in the nest should be replaced at the same time;

4. After the cage is cleaned up, the cage should be cleaned within 5 to 7 days.

Precautions: After placing cat litter in the nest, the hamster will bathe itself without the need for the owner to wash it.

Clean the cage.

1. Supply of water and food: replace it at least once a day, and observe whether there is anything blocked at the outlet of the kettle, and clean it up in time.

2. Bedding: The place where rats and rats usually pee is relatively fixed, generally a corner of the cage, so when changing the water every day, clean up the sawdust in the corner by the way, replace it with clean sawdust, if it is cat litter, take out the lumps. At the same time, clean the chassis mat once every 2-3 days and replace it with a new one.

It is also possible to change half of the practice once every 2 days. It not only leaves some smell for rats and mice, ensures that rats are not disturbed, but also cleans up in time. Don't wash and clean up the whole dish every day, especially for the rats that have just been brought home, they may be irritable due to frequent changes in the environment!

3. Nest: rats and rats generally hide their food in the nest, and at the same time will pick up some sawdust to spread in their nest for warmth, the nest is their most secure place, and some of the rats and rats who love to clean wake up, will throw out the poop they pull in the house one by one, the cleaning of the nest, you can observe the nest when the rat is not there, whether there are piles of food, and observe whether it is just stored, or placed for a day or two, if there is a smell, clean it up in time. At the same time, replace the bedding in the nest (just a little bit) with a new one.

4. The whole cage: After the local cleaning is done every day, the whole cage is cleaned and washed once every 5-7 days.

Change it once every three days, and in the summer you can spray some perfume, being careful not to spray it on food. Agree with me.

In summer, if you want to have no smell, it is best to spread a layer of cat litter under the cage Don't put too much wood chips, because the wood chips will smell bad when they get wet, and then feed them regularly, feed them once a day, and the amount of one time can refer to a small spoon, and then you can give something to gnaw on, in short, don't let his mouth be lonely, just snack goods

Feed food corn, apples, vegetables three times a day, change sawdust once every 3 days.

Speechless A lot of wrong practices Give up to 3 melon seeds or peanuts a day Don't give too much of these things Water is a must Eat vegetables and fruits It's good to eat less melon seeds Peanuts and the like Hamsters can't bathe with water To use bath sand You can feed it fruits (we usually eat it for him Don't give him some strange things such as mangoes, durians, etc.) Vegetables Eat more hamsters can eat more Whole grains Hamsters love dried fish You can use dried fish to train it Do you only have one at home? It is advisable that you find him another partner to wish you happiness.

Hamsters cannot be bathed with water!!

It is recommended that you go to a hamster shop and buy a pack of rat food for hamsters.

But I think there's also going to be a spinning wheel.

Please feed professional rat food, you really can't buy it and feed cereals temporarily; Please use a drinking fountain to feed water, cold boiled water, not tap water, milk, milk powder; Hamsters are solitary animals, please one rat and one cage; The cage should have running wheels, drinking fountains, and small nests; Please do not breed, because the mice born will have one rat and one cage; Do not give hamsters to children under the age of 10; Some of the words of the rat dealers are not credible; cannot be fed human food; One melon seed a week; Food can**. How do you know it's okay? For example, if you eat snacks every day, you will be fine every year, but what about when you are old?

Isn't that the problem? Don't be lucky, obediently buy hamster bath sand to bathe the hamster, don't think that just a mouse will not spend money and energy for it, it is a hamster! The name doesn't matter, the important thing is the correct way to raise it, otherwise you are harming it!

Hamsters can be kept in a 50 cm square tropical fish tank covered with barbed wire (easy to get stuffy in summer, beware). When using a wire cage, the hamster grabs the wire and climbs up, and there is a danger of falling.

Therefore, it is best that the cage is not very high, and the wire at the bottom of the cage should be removed before use. The bottom of the cage is covered with wheat straw, hay or sawdust.

Hamsters are omnivores, and hamsters eat the first category: yellow-green vegetables (yellow vegetables such as pumpkin; light-colored vegetables such as cabbage and lettuce); Hamster food category 2: potatoes, beans, fruits, weeds, seeds, etc.

Hamster food category 3: protein (boiled eggs, boiled dried fish, boiled chicken and cheese, tofu, etc.) Hamster-specific diet. This is one of the most important and important hamster foods.

But it should be noted that when the diet is food-based, it is also important to pay attention to feeding some vegetables and fruits.

Hamsters have a habit of storing food in their gills. So pay attention to frequent water changes. Clean the food bowl and drinker daily and replace it with fresh food and water.

It is also necessary to change the nest material. Check the nested boxes. Where the hamster stores its food, leave some fruit or solid feed for the hamster to eat.

Change the bottom dressing of the cage once a week, and clean and disinfect the cage once or twice a month.

Contraindications to hamster feeding

1) Do not feed food to people, the salt content is too high, the seasoning is too heavy, it will increase the burden on the body of the rats. Especially foods such as snacks that people eat. But unprocessed coarse grains can be fed, such as corn, broccoli, and barley.

2) Do not touch the sun directly, rats are very afraid of light and heat, summer is coming, please use heat sink or marble to cool them off. For a hamster, being in the sun is like being in the sun at night and someone throws a flashbang at you.

3) Hamsters can only take sand baths, do not wash. Washing with water will make the hamster catch a cold, and in severe cases, it may die.
