Pudding hamsters are very active pets, so they need a large enough activity space and a safe place to live. They like to do all kinds of activities, such as running, crawling, cutting wood, digging holes and so on, so they need a space where they can release their energy and satisfy their curiosity.
Therefore, a good pudding hamster cage needs a certain size and a variety of toys. In order to make the pudding hamster live happily, its cage should be as big as possible.
2. The size of the cage
Theoretically, there should be at least enough spacious space for pudding hamsters to play happily in their cages. This space can be used to prevent the pudding hamster from being stuck in a small cage at home. Pudding hamsters are very inquisitive creatures, so put some toys and other high-quality equipment.
For a pudding hamster, at least a space of 30x20x20 cm is needed. However, this shows that the cage of the pudding hamster should not be too small, and there should be enough space for it to stretch. Therefore, the size of the cage is very important. It is generally recommended that the cage area be not less than 450 square centimeters and the height be not less than 25 centimeters.
3. Material of cage
Different types of hamster cages have different backgrounds. Hamsters are rodents' pets, so they naturally like to bite. This means that you need to find a firm and durable cage to prevent it from quickly biting through the cage and eating the rich feed inside.
In addition, the cage needs to be breathable, because sustainable air flow is very important for pudding hamsters. Most high-quality cages are made of metal and plastic, which can greatly extend the life of cages.
4. Configuration of cages
In order to make pudding hamsters live happily in cages, we also need to prepare some toys and tools for them to create a practical but not dull environment. Some common configurations include:
Exercise wheel: Pudding hamsters often use this wheel to move their bodies to enhance their physical strength and flexibility.
Tunnel device: Hamsters are naturally fond of digging holes, so putting some tunnels or digging devices in their cages can make them have more fun.
Lifting: Lifting is a necessary device for hamsters in the expansion stage. It is suggested to set up 1-2 groups in the cage, and the height should not exceed 3 cm.
Supplies: digging earth, oak honey, grain storage tank, grinding bar, turntable, etc.
These configurations are very important for the health and happiness of the pudding hamster, so when choosing a cage, you must choose the appropriate device that your pet needs.
