Golden Hamsters are relatively easy to raise, but some specific care requirements need to be noted. Golden Hamsters are a hybrid of Silver Fox Hamsters and Pudding Hamsters, and they have a relatively good constitution. As long as they are properly cared for, they generally won't die easily. Golden Hamsters are lively and fond of exercise, so it's necessary to provide them with enough activity space and appropriate exercise facilities, such as running wheels.
In terms of diet, Golden Hamsters are omnivorous animals. They can eat foods like bok choy, carrots, pumpkins, sunflower seeds, peanuts, walnuts, apples, strawberries, cherries and so on. However, it's important to avoid feeding them foods like almonds, plums, loquats, peaches and others that may cause heart paralysis or gastrointestinal disorders. Besides, Golden Hamsters need to drink boiled and cooled water or purified water, and avoid drinking raw water.
The living environment for Golden Hamsters requires suitable temperature and humidity. The most suitable temperature is between 20℃ and 28℃. Avoid places where they are directly exposed to sunlight or strong winds. In summer, ventilated wire cages can be used, while in winter, all-plastic cages can be used to keep them warm. In addition, Golden Hamsters need an appropriate amount of wood shavings or paper towels for warmth and nest building.
