Hamsters do not need to hibernate, but they will enter pseudo-hibernation when the temperature is very low. Unlike other animals that need to hibernate, hamsters will die once they enter hibernation and do not wake up for a long time. Therefore, when we find that hamsters enter pseudo-hibernation due to low temperatures, we need to wake them up in time.

Performances of pseudo-hibernation in hamsters

During hamster pseudo-hibernation, the body does not move at all, the body temperature drops, breathing and heartbeat weaken, and its posture is generally characterized by curling up, forward and backward. The claws are half open. The owner needs to wake it up in time, otherwise its physical strength and physiological functions will gradually decline. If the owner ignores it, it may die. Solutions to hamster pseudo-hibernation:

1. Place the hamster cage indoors. You can turn on the heater to raise the ambient temperature, and place a hot water bottle next to the cage to help the temperature rise. Generally, the hamster will gradually recover in about 20 minutes. wake.

2. After waking up, you can feed some glucose water in an appropriate amount. You can use a cotton swab to gently open the mouth, and slowly drip in a small amount to feed.

3. It is best to provide your hamster with enough food before hibernating so that he has enough energy to withstand the severe cold of winter. Pay attention to keeping warm and not too cold to avoid freezing to death during hibernation.

Tips:

Hamsters are very cold-sensitive animals, so we need to keep warm when the weather is cold. In winter, you can arrange a warm nest and lay out some sawdust, cotton, paper towels and other bedding materials to ensure sufficient water and food, so that the hamster will basically not hibernate.
