The domestic hamster is extremely clean. He divides his house into zones: a bedroom, a pantry, a place for living and a toilet adjoins it. The location of these zones should not be disturbed: the rodent will not like it if someone rebuilds its mink. It is recommended to clean the hamster’s house at least once every 5 days, but if the animal lives in the aquarium, then it is cleaned once a week.
Care
Animals are very sensitive to the movement of their homes. Changes can cause panic in an animal and cause serious diseases to develop. Most of all, this relates to the pantry, because it is very important for them. If when cleaning in a cage in
Throwing away all the stocks that were piled up by the hamster in a secluded place, he will experience a feeling of real misfortune. With constant emptying of the pantry, you can bring the animal to despair. A domestic hamster will run around the cage nervously in search of a more secluded place for its supplies. That is why you should not touch and move the pantry of the animal. Only those products that have already disappeared and can harm the hamster if he eats them should be removed.
House cleaning
General cleaning in the animal’s house is done once every one to two weeks. The frequency will depend on the size of the cell and the number of "residents" that contain
huddles in it, however, the toilet corner must be cleaned daily, otherwise a specific smell will spread throughout the apartment. In order to start cleaning in the cage, you first need to put the animal in a three-liter jar. After this, you need to pull out the litter and rinse the entire aquarium or the pan with water and salt. If desired, salt can be replaced with sand or soda. In addition, you can use shampoo specifically designed for rodents, however, you should not bathe the very home hamster with it. It is not worth using cleaning agents for washing the cage, such as powders and soap, because they can cause an allergy in the animal, and sometimes even poisoning. Also, do not rush to discard the used litter. Put a small amount of paper and sawdust back in the cage, so the home hamster will be able to settle faster after cleaning. In addition, it is necessary to wash the drinker once a week and change the water in it so that it is always fresh.
Food
Domestic hamsters are unpretentious enough to eat. You can give almost everything that is at home from food. However, do not treat your pet with fatty, salty, sweet, spicy, fried, smoked
new products. Also prohibited foods include citruses and cabbage. In order to feed a pet, a metal feeder is suitable. You need to feed once in the evening or twice a day - in the morning and in the evening. In this case, the food should be fresh and of good quality.
During the day, the animal should be given the opportunity to sleep, because for their health this is an important factor. It is always worth watching the state of the pet’s health. If it has been noticed that the domestic hamster eats poorly, sleeps more than necessary, itches, sneezes and the like, it must be shown to the veterinarian, otherwise the animal may die after some time.
