When raising hamsters, the following taboos need to be noted:
Don't feed human food: Human food usually contains salt, oil and various seasonings, which are not good for the digestive system of hamsters. Hamsters should eat special hamster food and avoid feeding fried foods, snacks, etc.
Avoid direct sunlight: The eyes and body of hamsters are sensitive to sunlight. Prolonged direct sunlight may cause eye damage or heatstroke. Hamsters are more suitable for living in a dim environment, but soft light can be provided.
Don't bathe with water: The fur of hamsters is dense and soft. After bathing with water, it is not easy to dry and can easily lead to a cold. Hamsters clean themselves by licking their fur.
Don't drink unboiled water: Unboiled water may contain bacteria and chlorine, which is harmful to the health of hamsters. It is recommended to give hamsters boiled and cooled water or mineral water.
Don't keep them in the same cage: Hamsters are solitary animals. Keeping them in the same cage will lead to fighting and even injury.
Keep the environment quiet: Hamsters are timid animals. A noisy environment will make them feel stressed and even cause diseases.
Use appropriate bedding: Avoid using unsuitable bedding such as waste paper. Choose bedding specially designed for pets to ensure cleanliness and health.
Provide enough activity space: Hamsters need enough space for exercise and play. A cage that is too small will affect their health.
Control temperature changes: Avoid letting hamsters blow air conditioners for a long time or be in an environment with a large temperature difference to prevent colds.
Choose appropriate grinding tools: Use special grinding products and avoid using unsuitable items that may cause hamsters to accidentally ingest harmful substances.
Following these taboos can help you take better care of your little pet hamsters and ensure their health and happiness.
