1. If the owner thinks the hamster is very thin, he can’t blindly increase it, but first, Weigh the hamster to see if it has reached the standard weight for the age group. If the hamster is below the standard weight, the owner can consider fattening the hamster. To gain weight for hamsters is mainly to adjust the diet structure, such as feeding mealworms, pine nuts, peanuts, melon seeds, nuts, apples, and other foods to hamsters, and to increase the number of feedings per day. These foods are rich in nutrients and can satisfy the nutrition of hamsters demand, and hamsters also prefer to eat them.
2. Some hamsters may be thin because they eat less, but some hamsters may be malnourished if they don’t gain weight. There are two causes of malnutrition in hamsters: one is that the nutrition in the diet cannot meet the hamster’s needs, so even if the hamster eats more food, it will not gain weight. This usually occurs in hamsters with a single diet, so The owner should put more effort into the diet structure to ensure that the hamster’s diet can achieve nutritional balance; the other is that the hamster’s body cannot absorb nutrients, resulting in insufficient absorption of the nutrients in the food, so the hamster will eat only and not gain weight, This is generally also because the hamster’s stomach is not good. If the hamster’s stomach is very fragile or suffers from gastrointestinal diseases for a long time, it will cause its gastrointestinal absorption capacity to be low. The better the gastrointestinal conditioning is, the more urgent it is.
3. The hamster’s breeding environment is relatively stable, basically living in a cage, so the hamster has been infected. The chances of internal parasites are not high. Still, if the hamster’s breeding environment is not hygienic, or if there are pets such as cats and dogs at home, the hamster may also be infected with parasites, which will cause the hamster to become thin. In this case, the owner should confirm whether the hamster is infected with parasites. If it is infected with parasites, it must take a particular pet deworming medicine. When the parasites in the hamster are removed, its body will gradually return to normal.
In general, hamsters are very thin and cannot blindly gain weight. First, we must determine the reason for its thinness and then take the corresponding treatment and increase in weight—fertilizer measures.
