1. The performance of hamsters afraid of heat
When they first feel very hot, Hamsters may be very excited, run around, and look very restless, more like a human being.
After heat stroke, hamsters will mainly show symptoms such as shortness of breath, dull eyes, lack of activity, and unconsciousness. Even if the pet owner fiddles with it, the hamster’s response is very slow, or there is no response at all. . When the hamster is hot, the chin or stomach may be wet, and the hamster with severe heat stroke may even have symptoms such as being unable to stand, coma and so on.
Second, what should I do if the hamster is afraid of heat?
When the temperature is relatively high in summer, pet owners need to do a good job of hamster summer shelter in time.
The hamster likes to stay in a cool place, the temperature that makes the hamster feel comfortable is 20-28 ℃, so when the weather is hot, it is recommended to arrange the hamster cage in a place where the volume is ventilated, and try not to directly expose to the sun Sunlight.
In addition, do not use wood chips for the litter of the hamster cage, because the heat dissipation effect of wood chips is relatively poor, it is recommended to replace it with corncob or cat litter
. You can also put some pebbles in the cage so that the hamster can lie down on it and sleep in the cool when it feels hot.
You can also place a water basin next to the hamster’s cage, because the evaporation of water will absorb heat, thus achieving the effect of lowering the ambient temperature. If the weather is really hot, it is recommended to put the hamster directly in the air-conditioned room, and after it returns to normal, put it in another place to avoid the hamster from being overheated to heat stroke.
Finally, hamsters are not only afraid of continuous high temperature environment, but also cannot adapt to the environment with too large temperature difference. If the temperature difference of the breeding environment exceeds 10 ℃, the hamster will not be able to adapt, and it is very likely to get sick, so Everyone needs to control the temperature difference and try to provide a breeding environment with a relatively constant temperature for the hamster.
