First, the vision of hamsters
hamsters are nocturnal Sexual animals, their dynamic vision and ability to distinguish colors are relatively poor. Hamsters are basically dichromatic vision, their world is only black and white. In addition, the eyes of hamsters are located on the sides of their cheeks, and although the field of vision is wide, it is difficult to focus, so many times, the object in front of them is just a blur of light and shadow in their eyes. And hamsters can’t tell the height yet, so even if they are held up, they will run down unexplainably because they don’t know where they are. Therefore, when raising hamsters, be careful not to place them in high places to avoid accidents.
Second, the hearing of hamsters
Although hamsters have poor eyesight, their hearing is very good. They can hear sound waves that we cannot hear. At the same time, they are very timid, especially the Roberovsky hamster, who often wake up immediately when there is any trouble and run away quickly. So pet owners try not to call them loudly around the hamster or place them in a noisy place, otherwise it will easily startle them, and may even cause damage to their hearing.
Third, the daily grinding of hamsters
hamsters are rodents, and grinding is a their daily life. If you don’t pay attention to grinding, the hamster’s upper and lower incisors will continue to grow. If the incisors grow too long, the hamster will not be able to eat, and will eventually starve to death. Therefore, pet owners must pay attention to providing them with some wear-resistant food during raising hamsters to maintain their teeth at a normal length.
If the hamster has obvious loss of appetite, drooling and slightly open mouth, it is likely that their teeth are too long. The pet owner can check their teeth carefully. If they are long, you need to cut their teeth. However, cutting teeth for hamsters is a risky thing, and it is easy to hurt them in the process of trimming, so it is necessary for pet owners to provide hamsters with teeth grinding supplies in advance to avoid the development of cutting teeth for hamsters. The hamster teeth grinding products sold on the market, such as molar stones and apple branches, are conducive to grinding teeth with hamsters, and can be used for hamsters with confidence. The molar stone is durable, non-toxic and soft in texture. It has a good teeth grinding effect and will not cause the hamster’s teeth to collapse. However, it may be easily overlooked by the hamster. It is recommended to bury the molar stone in the rat food for a period of time before taking it out. , Hamsters are more willing to gnaw on the molars that stick to the taste of food.
