When temperatures rise, it is advisable to support the hamsters in the form of cooling. There are various summer products for hamsters that can help your animals during the hot days. Do not make your animals wet under any circumstances.
At temperatures above 25 ℃ it actually starts to get too hot for the hamster. When temperatures rise it is important that the hamster is supported. In addition to an ICEPOD or cooling stone, a thermal cover for the drinking bottle is recommended. This ensures that the water stays cool for longer. The drinking water should also be changed regularly so that the animals always have fresh and cool drinks. Please note: do not give ice-cold water, this can cause diarrhea. In addition, a thermal cover offers protection against algae growth in the drinking bottle.
Some useful tips that can help are:
- Use cool ground cover such as: Back 2 Nature, Hemp fiber, Wood fiber
- Use a cooling element such as the ICEPOD or Cooling Stone.
- Use a thermal cover for the drinking bottle to keep drinking water pleasantly cool and prevent algae growth.
- Preferably use houses made of ceramic or terracotta. These stay cooler than wooden houses.
Please note! Do not place the cooling stone in the sun, as this can cause it to heat up considerably.
Why do hamsters need extra support in the summer?
Hamsters are sensitive to heat. Temperatures above 25℃ can be dangerous. They quickly overheat, which can be life-threatening. That is why extra support during hot days is essential.
How can I help my hamster cool down in hot weather?
Use cooling products such as an ICEPOD , cooling stone or terracotta house . Provide cool ground cover and keep the drinking water fresh with a thermal cover .
Can I wet my hamster to cool him down?
No, never wet your hamster. Hamsters do not tolerate moisture well, this can lead to stress, hypothermia or diseases. Cooling is done with products, not with water on their bodies.
What is an ICEPOD and how do I use it?
An ICEPOD is a plastic cooling plate that you put in the freezer. Then put it in the enclosure (always out of reach of gnawing teeth) so that the hamster can lie on it if he wants to. Never put it in the sun.
Which ground cover is suitable for warm weather?
Choose airy and cool ground cover such as:
- Cotton N Fibre/Hemp/Flax
- Hemp fiber
- Flax N Flax
- Wood fiber
How often should I change the drinking water?
In summer you should change the water daily and check if it is still cool and clean. Never give ice cold water, this can cause diarrhea.
Which houses are best suited for warm days?
Ceramic or terracotta houses are ideal, as they naturally stay cooler than wood. They give your hamster a nice hiding place in the heat.
Can I place a cooling stone in the sun for extra cooling?
No! Never place the cooling stone in the sun. It will then heat up and have the opposite effect. Place it in a shady spot in the enclosure.
Are there any additional tips to make the stay cooler?
Definitely! Place the enclosure in a cool, shady space. Provide good ventilation, but avoid drafts. If necessary, you can place a fan in the room (do not point directly at the animal).
