How to survive the winter for hamsters:
1. Raising indoors
Do not leave hamsters outdoors in winter. The cage must be placed indoors to withstand the wind and cold, otherwise it may cause The hamster froze to death.
2. Replace the bedding material
Put more sawdust in the cage, or use paper cotton as bedding material, which has a good thermal insulation effect.
3. Heating equipment
You can place a small heater next to the cage, or prepare a safe hot water bag or heating lamp for the hamster. Be careful when using it to avoid burning the hamster.

In winter, hamsters need to be fed more protein-rich foods such as dried fish, dried shrimps, mealworms, and barley worms to supplement nutrition, store energy, and resist the cold.
5. Replace the cage
