The climate in Guangdong is relatively hot and humid in summer. You need to pay attention to the following points when raising hamsters:

2. Water supply: In the hot summer, hamsters’ water needs will increase. Make sure to provide clean, fresh drinking water, check the water supply frequently and keep drinking glasses clean.
3. Diet adjustment: The hamster’s diet can be appropriately adjusted in summer. You can add fresh fruits and vegetables, such as watermelon, cucumber and other foods with high water content, to provide an appropriate amount of cooling and reducing heat. Be careful to avoid giving too much water-containing food to avoid indigestion.
4. Prevent heatstroke: Hamsters are sensitive to high temperatures and humid environments and are prone to heatstroke. To ensure you provide plenty of shade and shade, place materials such as ceramics or stones in your hamster cage to provide a cool surface.
5. Pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene: In summer, the temperature is high and the humidity is high, which makes it easy for bacteria and parasites to breed. Regularly cleaning your hamster cage and changing bedding to maintain a dry and clean environment will help prevent disease and keep your hamster healthy.
To sum up, when raising hamsters in summer, you need to pay attention to temperature control, water supply, dietary adjustment, prevention of heat stroke, and cleanliness and hygiene. Ensure to provide a comfortable and healthy living environment, and the hamsters can survive the summer in Guangdong!
