How to raise a first-line hamster

The first-line hamster, also known as the hairy foot hamster, is a kind of hamster, the size is very small, many people like breeding, how to raise the first-line hamster?

1. Cage requirements:

Go to the market to buy a special cage for raising hamsters, which should have sinks, pots, running wheels, toilets, sawdust and so on.

1. Cushion requirements: put a layer of sawdust, wheat straw, hay or unprinted paper at the bottom, then put a small amount of soil, and then put on a layer of hay to provide a good growing environment so that hamsters can make nests and dig holes.

2. Food basin: generally, there will be a food basin in the cage bought, but if it is a self-made sink, you can make a basin that is not very high and can be easily reached by hamsters on the edge of the sink, and fix it to avoid overturning. During the breeding period, the food basin must be cleaned in time so that the food is not fresh and the hamster gets sick. Because hamsters are not picky eaters, whether corn, wheat, peanuts, pine nuts, carrots, cucumbers, cabbages, beef, bread worms, etc., and have the habit of storing food in the cheeks, if the eating basin is not clean, it is easy to make hamsters sick.

3. Drinking water: generally, there will be drinking fountains in the cages you buy, but you must check whether there is water leakage when you buy it. If it leaks, do not. If you make your own sink, you can make a water fountain at the edge of the sink and fix it so as not to upset the water fountain and wet the hamster to catch cold and get sick.

4. Toilet: get a plastic box in the cage or sink and fill it with cat litter. However, because the hamster likes to be clean, the caked cat litter should be taken out or replaced every day to provide a good living environment for the hamster.

5, bath requirements: hamsters like to take a bath in cat litter, so it is necessary to build a special bath room and put on the sterilized bath sand to let it bathe freely.

If it is summer, it is best not to turn on the air conditioner, because the air conditioner will make the temperature difference too big, and the hamster is very sensitive to temperature and easy to catch cold. In winter, you can spread more cushion materials such as sawdust, and configure wooden or grass huts for hamsters to keep warm.
