A rat friend wrote to ask, "Teacher Tan, read your book "How Old Is a Three-Month-Old Hamster Equivalent to a Human Being", and I realized that the life of a hamster can be divided into so many stages. I have a rat in my house, and I was not small when others sent me, and I have raised it myself for more than half a year, and recently found that he doesn't like to eat much, is it so old that he is dying? From the description of this rat friend alone, we generally know that this rat is almost 1 year old, and it is indeed in the middle and late stages, but it is not yet directly facing death.
1 Loose and depilatory hair.
After the hamster enters the aging process, the body hair will become loose and not as tight as before, giving people the feeling that they have not bathed for a long time and causing strands of hair, even after washing in the sand, there is not much improvement. I'm getting older, I'm shedding...
2. The coat color is less shiny.
When the hamster was young, the coat color was shiny and shiny, and it felt like brocade, but after aging, the coat color was much darker, and combined with the loose hair, it felt dry and a little sloppy.
3 Protruding arched dorsal protrusion.
The arched back phenomenon is the most significant feature of hamster aging, the body muscles are not tight, the elasticity of the fur is also poor, the overall looseness, the vertebrae are obviously bulging.
4 Elongated and narrow body.
"Fat is the beauty" is the standard for many rat friends, horizontal development, fat hamsters are more and more cute, but after the hamsters enter the aging, they will not grow much meat, relatively much lower, and the original body shape is obviously "narrow and long".
5. Lack of exercise, eating and drinking less.
Hamsters, like people, have a bad appetite when they get old, and their teeth are poor, and the original hard rat food is not easy to gnaw. Less absorption, less movement, a feeling of glamour. When I say that hamsters are "old", I always feel a little sad in my heart, but this is also a normal physiological change, so treat it correctly.

Egg white, oatmeal, carrots, cucumbers, and fresh corn on the cob are all soft foods that can be eaten in moderation by elderly hamsters. Since elderly hamsters are prone to constipation, it is necessary to pay more attention to dietary fiber, such as the intake of Chinese cabbage;
2. Daily care: For elderly hamsters, it is best to slow down their lifestyle. It is best to live in a single-layer hamster cage, reduce the number of toys that need to climb, and the living environment is best simple.
The running wheel does not need to be removed, and a certain amount of exercise in the elderly hamster is also necessary, because the body odor and urine smell of the elderly hamster will become heavier, so it is necessary to take care of the hamster cage more frequently. The hamster's eyes, teeth, claws, and more need to be checked daily. Pay more attention to the situation of hamsters eating and drinking, if there is an abnormal situation, you must figure it out and deal with it in time, the body immunity of elderly hamsters is slowly weakening, so you can give some health products every day.

1. After the hamster enters old age, the coat will become loose, not as tight as when it was young, and it is often wisps of hair, even if it has just been bathed in the bath sand, there is no change. Moreover, when the hamster is young, the hair will be shiny, but when it is old, the color of the hair will become dull and dull, and it will look dry. When hamsters get old, they will also age.
Hair removal. 2. Many hamsters will have a hunched back when they reach a certain age, because the muscles of the hamsters are not so tight after they are old, and the elasticity is worse, and the overall look is loose, and the vertebrae will bulge significantly.
3. As the hamster gets older, it eats less and less, so the fat body will soon lose weight, and the body shape is narrow and long, and it may not be as cute as when it was young.
4. When the hamster gets old, its teeth will become loose or have dental diseases.
Therefore, a lot of hard foods can't be gnawed, so naturally there is less to eat. Because the daily eating and drinking decreased, the hamster's physical strength will also decrease, so it does not like to exercise.
2. Hamster geriatric diseases
1. Many geriatric diseases will occur when hamsters are more than one and a half years old, and the more common ones are liver and kidney failure. When a hamster's kidneys begin to fail, it may lose its hair, and kidney and bladder problems can cause the hamster to become thirsty or urinate more.

It usually starts on the buttocks and abdomen and is accompanied by skin flakes, which is a normal natural part of aging. In addition to this, hamsters may also develop tumors, teeth, and cataracts.
and other diseases. 3. In elderly hamsters, constipation is also a relatively common problem. A very small number of hamsters also develop heart disease as they get older.
Dyspnea is common.

If you are careful, have you noticed that there is a language problem in my title, in fact, what I want to talk about is not to directly cool the hamster, but how to provide a cool living environment for the hamster in the summer. The suitable living environment temperature of hamsters is generally between 10 degrees Celsius and 25 degrees Celsius, and if it is too low, it may hibernate and hang up due to heat stroke. The author has lived in Beijing for more than ten years, and I really obviously feel that the summer in Beijing is getting hotter and hotter. >>>More
You're too fierce! I didn't know how to buy 5 of them!! Vicious! >>>More
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
