The supplies needed for raising hamsters are as follows:
1. Hamster cage: A hamster cage is a must-have for raising hamsters. Wire mesh and plastic cages are the most common and cheapest among hamster cages.
2. Food bowl: Most hamster cages come with a food bowl. If you want to buy one, generally, any small container can be used as long as it is not easily knocked over and the edge is not too high. Commonly used containers include glass ashtrays, soy sauce dishes, various small bowls, and microwave boxes.
3. Water dispenser: When purchasing a water dispenser, check whether there is any leakage. A too damp hamster cage is not good for the hamster's body.
4. Running wheel: Since hamsters basically live in the cage all the time, an appropriate amount of exercise is very important. The running wheel is a tool for hamsters to exercise and play. If a hamster is overly obese, it is easy for it to get cardiovascular diseases. So the running wheel is a relatively important item.
5. Excretion area: This can be made by yourself. Just add some cat litter to the toilet area.
6. Bathing sand: Relatively speaking, it is used less frequently. Do not wash the hamster directly with water. Bathing sand is a tool for hamsters to take a bath.
7. Bedding material: Usually sawdust is used as the bedding material, which is relatively clean and easy to obtain.
8. Teething tool: Teething items are also very important tools. Because hamsters' teeth keep growing, they need teething items for abrasion. Teething tools are also used to prevent hamsters from chewing on the cage.
