How to Keep Your Hamster Cool

First off, big apologies for my absence, I've been finishing my degree but its all done now (yay). Seen as summer is rapidly approaching I thought I would do a post on how to keep your hamsters cool in the hot weather!

Some of it is common sense, and some are cool little tricks I have picked up over my time as a hamster owner:
  • Keep the window open in the room they are kept in
  • Use a fan to circulate the air if it is getting stuffy
  • Freeze baby food in ice cube trays and give them a cube of it every day
  • Refill water every day no matter how much is gone
  • Part freeze the water bottle (only part, keep an eye on them as they can burst if left too long)
  • Place a cup or plate in the fridge and let it cool right down, then put it in the cage for them to lie on if they get too hot. I put the plate under the substrate to cool one area down
That is pretty much my tips and tricks for the coming summer, I also made a video on it here:


I should be back to posting more often now :D

  2. People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff.
