Discover the Magic of Winter Care for Dwarf Hamsters & Hamsters!
Brrr... winter is coming! But don't worry, we have everything your dwarf hamster or hamster needs to stay cozy and warm.
Which Ground Cover is Perfect for Winter?
In the wild, hamsters dig tunnels and build warm castles. At home we can help them with a comfortable bedding, such as soft cotton . Here in our category we have selected special bottom material that is not only comfortable, but also retains heat.
Which nesting material gives the Hamsters the most warmth during the winter?
In the wild, all dwarf hamsters and hamsters make a warm nest in which they sleep. They also do this at our home, but when temperatures drop (also at our home) a nice warm nest is very nice for the animals. We have selected special nesting material in this category that is wonderfully warm in winter and that the animals will visibly enjoy. Warm materials are made of kapok, cotton and soft paper fibers.
Which herbs support Hamsters in winter?
Herbs are also very suitable as extra support during the winter. Each herb can help in its own way. In any case, we have made a selection of the most popular herbs that are also liked by animals.
Do Hamsters Need Extra Vitamins?
Actually, hamsters do not need extra vitamins in winter. For example, we only recommend this for animals that are sick, weak, pregnant or lactating. This group can always use a little extra support. In addition, some dwarf hamster species such as the Russian Dwarf Hamster can produce a winter coat. This process costs the animals extra energy.
Can Hamsters Hibernate?
Yes, Syrian Hamsters can indeed hibernate. This happens when the animals get the idea that winter is coming. A combination of low temperature and less daylight can trigger this. To prevent hibernation in Syrian Hamsters, the temperature is best kept above 15°C.
What is Winter Paralysis (Torpor) in Russian Dwarf Hamsters?
Winter Paralysis (Torpor) in Russian Dwarf Hamsters: A Deeper Dive
Discover the fascinating phenomenon of torpor in Russian Dwarf Hamsters in our extensive blog about Torpor . Learn how these little friends adapt to winter and what care they need during this special condition.
How to Use a Heat Pod or Cushion for Hamsters?
A heat pod is actually made for larger rodents and rabbits, but it can also be used for hamsters. We actually only recommend this Pod for animals that are sick, weak or recovering from surgery. In all these cases, the body has insufficient energy to maintain itself at the right temperature, making an additional heat source necessary.
Good nutrition plus protein
Hamsters are primarily granivores (grain eaters), but they also need protein in their diet. Always give your hamster complete nutrition that is tailored to the animal's nutritional needs. In the Hamster Food category you will find all foods for dwarf hamsters and hamsters and in the proteins category, we have made a selection of healthy protein sources.
Herbs as Support
Herbs are not only tasty but also very suitable as extra support in the winter. Discover our selection of popular herbs that are not only enjoyed by hamsters, but can also contribute to their well-being.
Chamomile : Chamomile is known for its calming properties and pleasant scent. Some hamsters may appreciate it as an addition to their environment.
Peppermint : Dried peppermint adds a refreshing scent to the hamster cage. It is sometimes appreciated for its subtle flavor.
