The size of hamster cage is one of the important factors to consider when choosing a cage. The cage should be big enough to accommodate a set of suitable size, so that hamsters have enough room to move. Generally speaking, the length and width of the cage should be at least 30 cm, and the height should be at least 20 cm to ensure that the hamster has enough space to move, roll and run.
Hamsters should have higher cages, because they like to climb high. In addition, considering that hamsters prefer to hide and collect, cages should be equipped with appropriate collection areas and movable equipment, such as wheels, ramps and tunnels.
2. Cage material
The materials of hamster cages should be safe and easy to clean. Some feasible options include plastic, metal and glass. Plastic cages are generally most suitable for hamsters, because they are relatively safe, easy to clean and have good isolation ability. In addition, when choosing a plastic cage, we should pay attention to ensuring its quality and durability to prevent hamsters from biting or getting out.
Metal cage is another good choice, because it is stable and durable, but it needs to be cleaned and disinfected regularly to avoid rust and bacterial infection. Glass cages are easy to clean, but not easy to breathe, which requires a certain ventilation design and ventilation system.
3. Safety of cages
The safety of the cage is also very important, because hamsters are lively little guys, and sometimes they may climb the wall of the cage or escape from the cracks in the cage.
Therefore, when choosing a cage, we should choose a cage made of seamless non-toxic and harmless materials, and fully consider its stability. Make sure the cage has perfect doors and locks, which can be closed tightly and cannot be easily opened by hamsters.
4. The location of the cage
In order to ensure the health and happiness of hamsters, the position of the cage also needs to be considered. Cages should be placed away from any heaters, direct sunlight and too humid places, and maintain proper temperature and air humidity. In addition, considering the body's need for light, the cage should be placed in a bright place, but at the same time, some dark areas should be left for hamsters to choose freely.
