Hamster breeding partners generally know that sawdust is very important and essential for raising hamsters, and sawdust is also a fast-moving consumer product, so it is necessary to replace the sawdust for hamsters frequently. As for how often to change wood chips for hamsters, many people are a little uncertain. Pet house Xiaobian consulted relevant experts and hamster friends and summarized some methods to share with you.

Generally speaking, there is no fixed time for hamsters to change sawdust. They can change sawdust more frequently or a little longer. However, the hamster should be replaced with sawdust in time. When the hamster’s sawdust is almost powdered or has become relatively wet, it should be replaced with new sawdust immediately. Hamster sawdust is mainly used to absorb urine, deodorize and keep warm. When the sawdust is wet and becomes powder, it no longer has those functions, so it should be replaced in time. However, if you wait until the sawdust can no longer be used, it is also bad for hamsters. In the long run, it will do some harm to the health of hamsters. Therefore, the sawdust should be replaced in time before it goes bad.

According to a skilled friend who keeps hamsters, changing sawdust for hamsters is roughly once a week or two. If the hamster urinates a lot in summer, it should help it replace the sawdust more frequently. It can be replaced once a week or even once every three days. However, it is not recommended to replace it every day. Replacing the sawdust is equivalent to changing a new environment for the hamster. Changing the environment every day may not be acceptable to the hamster, which will cause certain damage not only to its psychology but also to its physiology. In winter, the cycle of replacing sawdust can be extended.

Note: the hamster cannot replace sawdust for a period of time after delivery. Even if the sawdust is very broken and wet, it cannot be replaced until the baby hamster can open his eyes. At this time, remember not to change all the sawdust at one time. You should change a little at a time and change the sawdust several times. Because the new sawdust does not have the original taste of hamsters, hamster mothers may devour their babies.
