There are some basic rules and precautions to follow when raising hamsters. Here are the top ten taboos of raising hamsters:
1. Food poisoning: Feeding hamsters unsterilized food or poisonous plants can cause poisoning.
2. Lack of water source: Hamsters need to keep drinking water at all times and ensure that there is always clean and fresh water in the drinking fountain.
3. Poor water quality: Providing hamsters with turbid or unclean water can easily cause hamsters to become infected with germs.
4. Not cleaning the cage: Clean the cage regularly, otherwise the hamster will survive in a dirty environment and suffer health problems.
5. Lack of space: Hamsters need more space to move around. A cage that is too small can lead to lack of exercise and disease.
6. Malnutrition: Hamsters need to get the right amount of nutrients. Single foods and foods lacking nutrients can lead to health problems.
7. Overfeeding snacks: Giving too many snacks not only leads to obesity but may also cause gastrointestinal problems such as diarrhea.
8. Temperature discomfort: Hamsters need a stable temperature to stay healthy. Temperatures that are too high or too low may affect it.
9. Lack of exercise: Hamsters need enough space to move and play, otherwise it will lead to muscle atrophy, disease and other problems.
10. Improper behavior of family members: Family members who do not know how to handle, observe and care for pets correctly can cause harm or even serious injury to hamsters.
