Hamster is a small pet and needs enough space to keep healthy and happy. It is recommended to buy a cage of at least 40 cm x30 cm, but it is best to provide more space. The height of the cage is also very important, preferably at least 20 cm, so as to ensure that the hamster has enough space to crawl.
In addition, when buying a cage, you should also pay attention to the gap size of the grid to avoid being too big or too small. If the grid is too large, it may jam the hamster's paws; if the grid is too small, it may affect the air circulation.
2. Selection of cage material
The material of hamster cage is also a factor to be considered. It is recommended to choose a steel wire cage or a plastic cage, which is easy to clean and durable. However, it should be noted that if you choose a steel wire cage, you need to ensure the quality of the steel wire to prevent hamsters from biting the steel wire. Pay attention to whether the edge of the hole is sharp when replacing it, so as not to hurt the little pet.
3, equipped with appropriate accessories
In addition to the cage itself, some accessories need to be considered. First of all, you need to choose a suitable water bottle to ensure that hamsters can get clean water at any time. Secondly, food basin and sand bathtub, the choice can be decided according to hamster's habits and personality. If you want to provide hamsters with a richer living environment, you can consider adding sports wheels, climbing frames and toys.
4. Consider safety and convenience
When choosing hamster cages, we should also consider safety and convenience. Cages should have safety locks to prevent hamsters from escaping or being attacked by other pets. At the same time, the cage should be easy to clean and convenient for daily maintenance. If you need to move or clean frequently, you can choose wheels or cages to be designed separately.
