Design points for hamster cages
1, such as Toilet spot selection: Generally speaking, hamster cages will be equipped with crawling paths, rollers and shelters. Toilets are equipped with these equipment. A reasonable arrangement of the hamster’s cage can drive the hamster to exercise, facilitate cleaning of the cage, and maintain a clean environment in the cage. In order to reduce the pressure of feeding, especially pay attention to the reasonable design of the toilet point of the hamster. Wild hamsters generally build toilets in burrows, and do so in places where they live far away, so as not to be discovered by natural predators by smelling their own scent.
Therefore, the pet owner can observe where the hamster likes to defecate, so he can set its toilet point there, instead of setting it according to the place that he thinks is safer. In addition, the pet owner should pay attention to choosing the size of the toilet reasonably when setting the toilet point for the hamster, because the toilet is too large to achieve the purpose of the fixed point, and too few toilets will easily bring a lot of resistance in the later stage, so the pet should pay attention to the hamster according to the size of the toilet. The size of the hamster to choose the toilet reasonably. It is recommended to choose toilets made of ceramic or acrylic materials to prevent hamsters from biting and to facilitate cleaning.
2. Design of rest area and eating area: The rest area and eating area of the hamster should be separated independently, and pay attention to the arrangement according to the hamster’s preferences. Some hamsters will sleep and defecate in the toilet or other corners. If this happens, the hamster does not like the current rest area and needs to be adjusted. Make sure that there is enough space in the cage for the hamster to eat and sleep. If the cage is large enough, and the hamster often urinates in multiple corners, you can consider setting up several toilets.
In general, the layout of the hamster cage is mainly based on the habits of your own hamsters. In addition, the habits of hamsters may change. Pet owners should usually pay attention to some behavioral changes of hamsters and give hamsters help in time. For example, when the toilet becomes dirty or the hamster feels that the external environment is unsafe, some of the hamster’s previous habits may change, such as not urinating in the original place. If so, the pet owner needs to clean its toilet in time.
Additional knowledge points: In order to facilitate the cleaning of the hamster’s toilet, the pet should put some cat litter
in the toilet, and pay attention to update it in time to keep the thickness of the cat litter at about 2cm.
