    Not necessarily dead. But if a hamster.

    Without sawdust, it is easy to catch a cold and become infected, which can lead to the death of hamsters! There are no wood chips in the cage, and the hamster can live, but its cage will become smelly, and it will also make it feel very cold. And without sawdust, hamsters will often stain themselves, and it is easy to get sick after a long time.

    If there is no sawdust for the hamster, it can be temporarily replaced with paper towels or cotton, which can also play a role in keeping warm. The role of sawdust is only to keep it warm in winter, and it can keep the cage clean by sucking urine, and some sawdust is fragrant and can also deodorize.

    Sawdust mainly absorbs urine, keeps the environment dry for too long and does not change, it will be very damp, easy to get sick, and the smell is quite unbearable. Causing the hamster's physique to decline, it will not die quickly, and in this environment for a long time, death is possible. Hamsters can only fall asleep in wood chips, which keep them warm and absorb their urine.

    However, you can also give it to it with newspaper torn into pieces, but newspaper chips are not as good as wood chips. My hamsters have always used rose-flavored and lemon-flavored wood chips.

    It is often changed in the summer, and the taste is not very good. Considered changing the bedding. It can also be replaced with confetti.

    In the summer, wood chips are rarely used, I bought ice mats, and there is that kind of ice particle bedding on the Internet, and I use it once and never use it again. Because I'm too lazy to wash, it's very hard to use. Ice pads will be a little better, similar to tiles.

    It is also possible to buy ceramic nests. In winter, you can add cotton, preferably the kind used by hamsters, and you have to tear it yourself, hamsters like to bite cotton, and you should pay attention to whether it will entangle it.

    Of course, raising hamsters does not have to use sawdust, corn cobs, cotton wool, cotton, and cat litter.

    It is also possible to replace wood chips, but it is best to use wood chips, because wood chips have better urine absorption, deodorization and thermal insulation properties than other bedding. In summer, you can raise hamsters without sawdust, and you can use cat litter instead, but it is best to spread more sawdust in winter to keep hamsters warm.

    It will die, hamsters are inseparable from sawdust, and sawdust can also provide hamsters with fun, and after the hamsters leave the sawdust, they may leave a relatively dry environment, so they may die.

    It will die, because the hamster will get sick without sawdust, and it will also be infected with a lot of germs, and it is easy to freeze to death, so it is very likely to die.

    Not necessarily, sawdust is just a kind of bedding, and it is okay to use other bedding, but if you don't lay bedding and don't pay attention to keeping warm, hamsters are likely to catch a cold, and hamsters have the habit of digging holes, and they usually play with bedding.

    No, my opinion is that you can put some other things for the hamster, such as straw, cotton, paper towels, you can do it.

    The hamster's sawdust will not necessarily die if it is not changed for too long, but it will definitely affect the hamster's health.

    Sawdust is one of the most commonly used litter for raising hamsters, and it must be replaced frequently to keep it clean.

    1. The biggest role of sawdust is to absorb water, of course, hamsters use it to absorb urine.

    If you don't change the wood chips for a long time, it can lead to more and more urine, especially in the humid southern or northern summers, and even when all the wood chips are soaked and the hamster is soaked in urine (more if the drinker is leaking or the hamster likes to play in the water).

    2. Sawdust also has a function of absorbing taste and deodorizing.

    If you do not change the sawdust for a long time, it may lead to a large amount of urine that cannot be absorbed, and even fermentation produces a large amount of ammonia, which is very dangerous, because the gas is toxic, explosive and flammable, and the air is particularly dry and the danger is even greater. Hamsters are at risk of being poisoned or killed by an open flame.

    3. Sawdust also has a good warmth effect in winter.

    If the sawdust is not changed for a long time, it may cause the sawdust to be affected by urine, either wet (common in summer) or hardened (common in winter), which cannot keep warm and cause the hamster to freeze.

    4. Frequent replacement of sawdust is the best way to keep the environment in the hamster cage clean and hygienic.

    If the wood chips are not changed for a long time, it may lead to wood chip spoilage, breeding bacteria, etc., affecting the health of hamsters.

    5. After the sawdust is fluffy, the hamster is used to hiding inside to provide a sense of security.

    If the sawdust is not changed for a long time, it may cause the sawdust to stick together and cannot be used as a place for the hamster to hide, resulting in a high level of mental tension in the hamster and causing psychological problems.

    In short, it is recommended that the sawdust should be replaced frequently, generally 2-3 times a week is the best, and the longest should be once a week.

    Now there are more and more people who like to have pets, and the pets raised by these people are all strange, some people will raise cats, and some people will raise dogs, of course, this is the mainstream. What's more strange is that some people will raise lizards and spiders. Forgive me for my timidity, I usually run away from these things, and I would never treat them as pets.

    But let's be honest, it's nice to have some niche pets. For example, a turtle goldfish is very good, and for example, it is also good to have a hamster. However, there are many issues that need to be paid attention to when raising hamsters.

    What do I need to pay attention to when raising hamsters? We should pay attention to these five aspects. Don't raise what you can't do!

    The first aspect: the cage.

    The hamster doesn't need to have a lot of space to live, just a small cage. However, this cage also has a little requirement, it can't be too small, because the space it originally needs is small enough, and if you prepare such a small cage for it, then it's really pitiful. So you should try to give it a slightly larger cage as much as possible.

    If you have the conditions at home, it is best to buy a double-layer cage, by the way, everyone remember to put a pulley in the cage, it wants this pulley for exercise.

    The second aspect: diet.

    The hamster's diet is something to pay attention to, and when it is very small, we can only feed it a little lettuce. It's better not to give it anything else, it's not good for its health. Wait until it grows up a little, and then give it a little cereals and fruits to eat, of course, in order to supplement its nutrition, it is best to prepare a little dried fish and other things, so that it can replenish some other nutrients that its body needs.

    The third aspect: it is better to keep one.

    Many people will say that hamsters are so cheap, it doesn't cost much to raise two, and raising two can be companions for each other. If you think so, then you still don't want to raise it. Because if you raise two, there are only two possibilities.

    One is to raise two males or two females, they will definitely fight, and one will never give up until they die. The second is to raise a male and a female, and they will give birth to many babies. You know, hamsters are very fertile, and when the time comes, your home will be full of hamsters, which is a bit scary.

    The fourth aspect: smell.

    When raising hamsters, there is one aspect to pay special attention to, and that is its smell. The smell of hamsters is very strong, so you have to prepare wood chips for it, of course, wood chips are not enough to prepare once, you have to change them every day, if you don't change them, its smell will still be very strong.

    Fifth: Don't catch it when you first raise it.

    This is what you need to pay attention to when you decide to get a hamster. When you first bought a hamster, don't think it's cute, just catch it. When it first arrives at your house, it is not familiar with you, and if you go directly to catch it, it will force it to be urgent, and if it is urgent, it may bite you.

    You know, hamsters still hurt a bite.

    Sawdust can play a role in water absorption, deodorization, warmth, if there is no sawdust hamster is easy to catch a cold and infection and die, no sawdust can be temporarily used cat litter, hay, leaves, better quality paper towels as a temporary bedding, temporary litter regardless of water absorption, warmth effect is not as good as sawdust, and hamsters may be eaten by mistake, so it is recommended to buy sawdust as bedding in time.

    If you have your own personal computer, maybe it uses Microsoft's operating system, some kind of Windows software. When Microsoft first designed Windows software many years ago, it applied for and received the copyright granted by the policy. Copyright gives Microsoft the exclusive right to manufacture and sell the Windows operating system.

    So, if a person wants to buy Windows software, he has no choice but to give the nearly $100 that Microsoft has decided to charge for such a product. It can be said that Microsoft has a monopoly in the Windows software market.

    Microsoft's business decisions cannot be properly described using the business behavior model we propose in Chapter 14. In that chapter, we analyzed the competitive market, where there are many companies that offer essentially the same products, so that each one has little influence on what it gets. In contrast, a monopolist like Microsoft has no close competitors and, therefore, can influence the market for its products**.

    The competitor is the recipient, while the monopoly is the formulator.

    In this chapter, we examine the implications of this market power. We will illustrate that market forces have changed the relationship between firms** and their costs. Competitors take the ** of their products as a given, and choose the supply quantity so that ** is equal to the marginal cost.

    In contrast, the monopolist charges more than the marginal cost. This result is obviously true in the case of Microsoft Windows software. The marginal cost of Windows software — the extra cost that Microsoft would have incurred by copying its program to another disk — was only a few dollars.

    The market** for Windows software is many times its marginal cost.

    It is important to note that in Figure 21-7, consumers choose to consume more Pepsi and more pizza. While the logic of this model does not require an increase in the consumption of both items due to an increase in income, this is the most common scenario. You can recall Chapter 4 that if a consumer wants to buy more of an item when his or her income increases, economists call it a normal good.

    The indifference curve in Figure 21-7 is based on the assumption that Pepsi and pizza are normal items.

    Figure 21-8 illustrates an example of an increase in income that causes consumers to buy more pizza and less PepsiCo. If consumption buys less of an item when income increases, economists call it a low-grade item. Figure 21-8 is based on the assumption that pizza is a normal item and Pepsi is a low-grade item.

    While most of the items are normal items, there are still some low-grade items in the world. An example is taking a bus. High-income consumers are likely to own their own cars and travel less on buses than low-income consumers. Therefore, riding the bus is a low-grade item.

    How changes affect consumer choices.

    Now let's use this consumer choice model to consider how a change in an item changes a consumer's choice. Specifically, let's say PepsiCo's ** drops from $2 for 1 pint to $1 for 1 pint. It's no surprise that the lower ** expands the purchasing opportunities for consumers.

    In other words, a drop in any kind of item will shift the budget constraint line outward.

    Figure 21-9 considers more specifically how the decline affects the budget constraint line. If the consumer spends the entire $1,000 on pizza, then Pepsi's ** is irrelevant. Therefore, point A in the diagram is still the same.

    But if a consumer spends his entire earnings of $1,000 on Pepsi, he can now buy 1,000 pints instead of 500. As a result, the endpoint of the budget constraint line is moved from b to d.

    Hamsters can live for 1 month without wood chips, and if there is no wood chips in the cage, a large number of bacteria will breed and affect normal growth. The thickness of the wood chips in the cage can be controlled between 3 5 cm, and the thickness of the wood chips can be increased to keep warm after the temperature drops in winter. If there is no wood chips, paper towels or cotton can be used instead, but regular theorem cages are required to reduce bacterial growth.

    Hamsters can live for 1 month without sawdust, if there is no sawdust in the rat cage, it will make a large number of bacteria breed in the rat cage, and in the long run, hamsters are susceptible to ** disease, often in about 1 month, there will be death.

    In order to make the hamster grow healthily, a layer of sawdust needs to be laid in the cage during the feeding period, and the thickness of the sawdust can be adjusted according to environmental changes, under normal circumstances, the thickness of the sawdust can be controlled at about 3 5 cm. In the low temperature environment in winter, the thickness can be increased appropriately to play a better role in keeping warm.

    If you can't buy wood chips, you can also choose to use paper towels or cotton instead, paper towels have a strong adsorption capacity and can also play a better role in keeping warm. However, after the hamster excretes, the cage will become dirty and troublesome to maintain.
