Now raising hamsters has become a trend, how should pudding hamsters be raised? Let me introduce you to the specific ways of raising pudding hamsters.

Pudding Hamster Tips

Hamsters have been kept as pets by more and more people, their characteristic cheeks. The pouches make their appearance even cuter. Pudding hamsters are also very popular due to their unique coat color and become a breed with a very high breeding rate. So what should be paid attention to when raising pudding hamsters?

1. Pudding hamsters Its sense of smell is very sensitive, so if you take food it likes, it is likely to smell it and think you are food and bite you. It is recommended to wash your hands before and after touching the pudding hamster.

2. Your pudding hamster was originally raised in a pet store. Although the young rat is not very territorial, it often fights with other pudding hamsters in the same cage, so its temper will be more irritable. Vigilant and hostile to other creatures. It is recommended that you spend time with the pudding hamster on a schedule to neutralize its hostility.

Three, you are not familiar with the pudding hamster, but you often play with it, grab it with your hands, and make it feel insecure. It is still recommended that you eliminate the hostility of the pudding hamster to you step by step according to the time.

Fourth, pudding hamster's eyesight is not very good, it mistook your fingers for food. When you touch the pudding hamster on your hand, if the five fingers are not close together, the pudding hamster is likely to bite down your fingers as food. But generally it won't bite too hard, just kiss you. Therefore, it is best to put the five fingers together when placing the pudding hamster on your hand, but not too tight, as it will catch the pudding hamster's feet. It is best not to tease the pudding hamster with your fingers to reduce the risk of being bitten.

5. Pudding hamsters have a strong sense of territory. If you have touched other pudding hamsters and your hands are stained with the smell of other pudding hamsters, the little pudding hamster will definitely expel strangers unceremoniously. The pudding hamster (actually your hand). Therefore, it is common to be bitten by mistake after touching other pudding hamsters. It is recommended to wash your hands after touching other pudding hamsters before touching your own pudding hamster.

Many netizens have been bitten by pudding hamsters, and everyone will ask if they need rabies vaccine. It is also possible to get rabies from being bitten by a pudding hamster (it may be unlikely, but because the rabies mortality rate is 100%), it is recommended to treat the wound as soon as possible and inject rabies vaccine, and if necessary, human rabies immune globulin should be injected.

Skin wound treatment: Immediately or as soon as possible, rinse all bites and scratches with soapy water/washing solution and plenty of water (about 15 minutes if conditions permit), and use iodine-containing preparations if available or a similar topical virucidal agent applied to the wound. Those with deep wounds and serious pollution should be treated with anti-tetanus treatment and antibiotics as appropriate to control other infections other than rabies virus.

Appearance is flattering, but it is an animal after all and lives by nature, so the breeding process must be scientific and careful.

Pudding hamster breeding environment

The ideal temperature for pudding hamsters to live is 20~ 28 degrees, but it does not mean that it does not matter how it changes within this range. For example, if the temperature in the morning and evening is 20 degrees and the temperature at noon is 28 degrees, it is not good for pudding hamsters. Because pudding hamsters are very sensitive to changes in temperature, the body may not be able to bear it, so the ambient temperature of the breeding environment should be maintained as much as possible. In addition, pay attention to the following supplies when setting up the environment for pudding hamsters.

1. Cushion: Poplar is better but also more expensive. A pack is about $50. Many people use pine, ranging from 20 to 40 yuan. Try to choose the one with less dust. Other types include paper, corn, and sawdust.

2. Bath sand: WILD-308 is about 65 yuan to 90 yuan per pack. It can be used for about half a year and can be recycled. When there is an odor, it should be replaced. If it is wet when it is replaced with a new one, the wet place can be taken out separately. Some people will use cat sand instead of bath sand. I don't agree with this practice. Cat sand works well as mouse toilet sand. But for mice, the particles are too large, which is not conducive to getting rid of the bacteria on the body.

3. Drinking water: boiled water must be used, and pure water should be fed if conditions permit (mothers should be properly fed fresh milk during lactation).

4. Teeth grinding supplies: There are special teeth grinding wood and mineral salt for teeth grinding, but the mice may not like it, and the teeth grinding snacks will be more popular. Prices range from 10 to 60 yuan. Never use disposable tachyons, popsicle sticks and the like.
