hamsters should not be washed as much as possible

To ensure the cleanliness of hamsters, it is also very important to bathe them regularly. However, under normal circumstances, we should not use water to help hamsters bathe. First of all, washing with water will consume more physical strength of hamsters. Moreover, washing is easy to catch cold, and it is easy to get sick if it is not dried in time. If it is allowed to dry naturally, it will lead to skin diseases, so most of us use bath sand to help it bathe.

Now you can buy hamster bath sand in many places. The most convenient way is to buy it online, and it is generally not expensive, and there are different scents to choose from. It should be noted that bathing sand is very different from ordinary sand, so don't run around and grab a handful of yellow sand to bathe hamsters. Bathing sand is specially tailored for small pets that are not suitable for washing. Hamsters are originally burrowing animals living in sandy soil environment, and using sand as a cleaning tool is completely in line with hamsters' living habits.

When the hamster's hair comes into contact with sand, it can not only remove the adhered dirt, but also prevent the sand from completely sticking to the hamster. As long as the hamster moves a little, the sand on its body will automatically fall off. Bathing sand can not only clean up the grease garbage on the hamster, but also make the coat look better, and at the same time make the hamster's hair fluffy. The attached sand fragrance can also make the hamster very useful.

The amount of bath sand is not particularly large, but generally it can reach 2~3cm. After washing, take the hamster back into the tank. Doing so can save sand and is easy to clean. In addition, the bath sand can be recycled several times. If hamsters urinate or defecate in the bath sand, then look at how much polluted bath sand there is, and if there is more, clean it all up. If it is less, treat the polluted bath sand and take it outside to dry. So that the rest of the bath sand can be reused.
