Reasons for keeping sawdust in raising hamsters:

1. Hamster’s excrement smells quite strong, and sawdust can dilute the smell of hamster’s excrement.

2. The fur of hamsters is very thin and the temperature is very cold in winter, so putting sawdust can help the hamsters keep warm and avoid frostbite.

3. Sawdust can remove moisture. Placing sawdust can keep the hamster's living environment dry, less likely to breed bacteria, and better protect the hamster's body.

4. Wood chips are easily contaminated with smell. Wrapping yourself in wood chips will make your hamster feel safe.

Change the hamster sawdust every few days:

1. If it is winter and the weather is cold, it is recommended to replace the sawdust once a week to two weeks, because in winter, hamsters are less active With less time, less water, less urination and defecation, less excrement, and cleaner wood chips, which reduces the frequency of replacement.

2. If it is summer and the weather is hot, special odors and odors will easily emit after defecation. The sawdust should be replaced every 3-5 days.

3. It should be determined based on the number of hamsters, as well as their eating and excretion conditions. If 3-4 hamsters are kept together, the sawdust needs to be replaced once a week to prevent the sawdust from absorbing too much urine, becoming moist, breeding bacteria, and affecting the health of the hamsters. If you only have 1-2 hamsters, you can choose to replace the wood chips every two weeks to keep the hamster cage clean and dry and let them live in a comfortable environment.
