    First of all, there must be bedding. Generally, wood chips and cat litter can be used, which can keep warm, maintain environmental hygiene, remove odors, and prevent hamsters from being injured when they fall from a height. However, when it is hot, it will smell like too much sawdust.

    Secondly, there must be necessary tools for life. For example, rice bowls, drinking fountains, toilets, houses, molars (stone).

    Finally, there should be recreational facilities. The runner is the most basic piece of equipment.

    The most important thing is the cage.

    Go buy a dedicated hamster cage. Cheap 50, good 160 or so.

    There are special food bowls, water feeders, and rollers.

    In terms of accessories, the basic is sawdust (10-20).

    Everything else is optional.

    You can also buy: bath sand, teething food, huts,

    If you want to raise a good hamster, take your time, the questions you ask are:

    The hamster will be nervous when he arrives in a new environment, don't worry, you can't expect him to be able to play with you just after buying it, he has to slowly get familiar with your smell. You can use food as bait to get on good terms with him. If you put your heart into it, he will be able to get to know you in about 2 or 3 days, and he will no longer be afraid of you in a week, and I personally think that he can eat in your hands in half a month.

    If you get bitten, don't worry, just deal with it simply, people who are new to hamsters have this concern, so by the way :)

    Also, hamsters are quite similar to ordinary mice in some places, such as day and night, and do not like sunlight. So, it's not so good to bask in the sun.

    He likes to sleep during the day and be active at night, so he must be silent when he buys rollers...

    2. Bedding: sawdust is naturally good, a large bag of imported ones is only more than 10 yuan, and domestic ones are cheaper, but the taste is not good. It can be used for a long time.

    If you want to save money, paper - but not necessarily cheaper than sawdust.

    3. Kettle: 10 yuan to 15 yuan, that's the price.

    4. Toys: DIY, hand paper tube, can be drilled and gnawed; Primary choice, domestic silent roller, 10 yuan; The rest of those mini toys can be bought again when you have the money.

    5. Food bowl: DIY one, the bottom of the cola bottle, ground it flat, so as not to scratch the ss. Disadvantages: often replaced, often bitten.

    6. Sleeping hut: DIY, xylitol gum tube, that is, the kind of plastic, cut off the lid, and then cut a hole in one side. Disadvantages: I am often knocked over by SS and need to be helped over from time to time.

    7. Food: Self-matching is the most economical, hemp seeds, melon seeds, oats, peanuts... Breadworms.

    Or when you cook, bring him some boiled chicken in plain water.

    Actually, rat food in Belgium is good, but it has been expensive lately. I haven't bought it in a long time and don't know the current price. SS eats very little, I bought a bag of 800 grams of jolly, and ate less than half a bag (a mouse) for half a year

    8,The last one,A mouse will be lonely,The best way is to find him a partner.。。。

    <>Do not put it near a window:There is generally direct sunlight by the window, and it is also an air outlet, so the temperature change is relatively large, which is not conducive to the life of the hamster, and if the wind is too strong, it will also make the timid hamster frightened, and even affect its sleep. If you have to keep it by the window, close the curtains and close the window if necessary.

    Do not put in the place of entrance and exit:The entrance and exit of the door or room are often moved, which will also cause temperature changes to a certain extent, and the movement of opening and closing the door is also relatively large, which may scare hamsters, so the owner should not place the hamster cage in a place where people often move around.

    Do not put next to appliances:Many electrical appliances will emit some subtle noises, which may not have any effect on the owner, but the hamster's hearing is very good, and these subtle noises will also cause it to be troubled, and even cause the hamster to sleep and eat, and in the long run, the hamster's mental state will become extremely poor.

    Don't put it in the bathroom in the summer :Although the bathroom is relatively shady and a good place to escape the heat in summer, the sewer and drain pipes in the bathroom will make a loud noise from time to time, which is also not conducive to the hamster's rest. And the bathroom is also easy to breed bacteria, so it is not suitable for hamsters.

    Don't put it in a place that is too cluttered :Hamsters often run away, and once they run out of the cage, it is difficult to find them back, so don't put the hamster cage in a messy place, otherwise the hamster can easily hide.

    Place in a relatively safe place:The owner can place the hamster cage.

    On a small cabinet or coffee table, it is also easier to observe the hamster. If it is placed directly on the ground, it is not only easy to get dusty, but also interferes with the life of hamsters when people move around.

    If you have other pets at home, try to place the hamster cage a little higher, which will also prevent other pets from eyeing the hamster and putting great pressure on the hamster.
