What about pets in the hot summer. Large pets can blow the air conditioner or take a bath to cool down. But what about hamsters. Pet rats are often fat, and it is inevitable that they will suffer from heat stroke in summer! So how do you give hamsters a cool summer?

There are several aspects that hamsters need to pay attention to in summer:

1. Air conditioning, this is not realistic for us . It is impossible for the air conditioner to be turned on 24 hours a day. After a long time, the electricity is wasted, and the smell in the room is not good. It's even worse when there's a power outage or something. Of course, although you can't turn on the air conditioner 24 hours a day, you can let the mouse borrow light while you use it.

2. There are cooling products or mats on the market, although they are useful. But this approach may not be affordable for most people.

3. Ice cubes, as long as there is a refrigerator, you can freeze some ice cubes and put them in a small basin. Mouse will lean over and sometimes lick (ice cream). The only downside is that the mouse gets wet.

4. Cobblestones (large pieces). This thing is generally available, right? If you can't get it, go to the building materials market to get marble. Of course, not directly for the mouse! Get some more and put it in the refrigerator on ice. After that, you can put it in the rat cage. If the rat is hot, it will lean over to get cool, or sleep directly on it (very cute). This method is considered to be the best, one is to maintain the temperature for a long time, and the other is that it does not melt away like ice cubes. But be careful, the mouse may catch a cold. . . . This can only be done to observe their physical condition at any time.

5. Use glass bottles or china, the kind that the mouse can enter. The usage is the same as method 4. Use it on ice in the refrigerator first, and then use it for the mouse, the little guys will be happy to go in and enjoy the cool. The disadvantage is that the temperature does not last for a long time!

For the bedding material in summer, a small amount of sawdust can be used to add a large amount of pasture. Taking into account the above methods, can be used at the same time. In addition, if you are still afraid that it is not enough, you can surround the cage with an ice towel, so that the heat cannot get inside. At the same time, you must pay attention to the sun in the summer. The light is very strong in this season, and someone needs to watch it, and the time should not be long. Control it to about five minutes. If you find that you have heat stroke, you can take something to take ice for treatment.
