What is it, the hamster cage?


Hamsters age, unfortunately, not long. With proper nutrition and quality he is able to live about two years, where there is no comparison with fifteen years of cats or dogs. Since the time allotted to life, the hamster still small, his every day should not pass in vain. Not the least role in this is the place where he lives. You can read a lot of literature, which describes what the cell needs a particular type of hamsters, and you can afford to "make" its own animal. But first, the cell should still buy it. What you should pay attention, which is insignificant ... about it - below.

The first thing to note is ...

Door.
It should be convenient for you. Set meal, clean up on little things or just take the hamster in his hands. All these and many other procedures performed through the door. Look, whether it is convenient to open / close, it will be difficult for her to open an animal, push hands and try to get to all (!) Over the cell. Please note, if you deliver it any inconvenience, or maybe you scratched her hand - if they inconvenience, there is, then do not buy a cage.

Second - this sex. There is a suggestion that he should be a tray, that is actually obtained the floor grate. Never! To go on such planking hamster rather inconvenient (personal observation), and especially not frolic. If you are afraid that they will be there to write something for nothing. Hamster can be educated to the full "toilet" (he, incidentally, should pass freely through the door).

House is usually supplied in the kit. Its more than enough. In any case, these houses can be easily and securely attach to the cell, which can not be said about the "pretentious". Why only with the hamster does not, often turns and dragged somewhere. Fun.

Bowls / drinkers . Two small bowls and often come in the kit. They are completely lacking. You can also purchase trough, which is mounted on the outside and act as necessary: wanted - drank, did not want to - she is waiting.

Floors. As practice shows, can be checked and 1.5 floor: floor and a small platform. No-rise can not forget that hamsters and all the "wild animals", and a kind of elevation changes they need. And at the same time, they are not rats, so active tiers of cells are not running. (The author's cell has two floors, and at the top of a hamster running around just because there is food. Solely because of her.)

Wheel , so that they replace the open spaces of fields (the hamster can run up to 40 km per night, not all breeds, though). It must be large to rotate freely and comfortably secured in a cage. It is best to check directly with the purchase of the cell. However, the price of the wheels does not bite, so you can make a couple mistakes and they will not be fatal for the budget (the wheel is about 20-350 rubles, whereas cells from 500-600 p. Up to several thousand).

Well, finally on the cell itself. In stores now, they sold a great many, so you should not invent the wheel. Teeths in hamsters sharp, they are able to bite a tree, much less cardboard, and metal rods are decent grind. Therefore, their thickness should be from the category of "finger break", which usually are not watching the markets.

And this advice from the author: put yourself in the hamster. This is very helpful..

The article does not address these types of "cells" as the three-liter cans and similar structures. The author rightly considers these cells complete misery and cruel mockery of the animals. Access of air to go there - no, there is no space, no amenities to create. In general, it is not our choice.
Designated purchases for your future pet.
