It’s important to keep your Siberian hamster warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Hamsters, in general, can overheat quickly. Hamsters are particularly prone to heat stroke if they become too hot. To avoid this, always make sure your Siberian hamster has access to clean, fresh water. In addition, make sure your hamster has areas in his cage where he can burrow and dig in order to stay cool as well. You can also make sure your hamster has a sand bath to play in as this will also help him to keep cool. Above all, never keep your Siberian hamster’s cage near a window where he can easily get too hot too fast. If you’re not sure what to do and you think your hamster might be too hot or appears to be lethargic, call your veterinarian Scottsdale, AZ right away for treatment information and instructions.
