How to Keep a Pudding Hamster? Detailed Guide to Care Methods and Precautions

The pudding hamster is a type of Djungarian hamster, and like the Roborovski hamster, golden hamster, and others, it belongs to the hamster family, but the pudding hamster has very pure coat color and can be kept in all regions. Sohow do you keep a pudding hamster?

1. Suitable temperature

The optimal temperature for a pudding hamster's life is 20 to 28 degrees, and it is best to maintain the same temperature for as long as possible, because the pudding hamster is very sensitive to temperature changes and its body may not be able to tolerate them.

2. Suitable bedding

For bedding, aspen is generally better but also relatively expensive, costing nearly 50 yuan per pack. Many people use pine, with prices ranging from 20 to over 40 yuan; try to choose the type with less dust. Other types include paper bedding, corncob, wood chip sand, and so on.

3. Qualified water source

Be sure to use boiled water, and if possible it is best to feed purified water (during the mother hamster's lactation period, fresh milk should be fed appropriately).

Pudding hamsters are very timid, and building a bond with them takes a long time, so you need to be patient when keeping a pudding hamster.
