Summer Care Tips for Hamsters
Hamsters have weak immunity and get sick easily with temperature swings, so summer care must cool them without letting them catch cold. Place the cage in a shady, airy spot with cooling mats, and if you use air conditioning keep it around 27°C with paper cotton for warmth, or use a fan that does not blow directly on the pet. Keep the diet light: normal hamster mix plus cooling foods like mung beans, watermelon, cucumber, or a little chamomile water, and always provide fresh water changed daily. Clean the cage and change bedding twice a week to limit bacteria.
How to Prevent Heatstroke in Hamsters During Summer

Move the cage to a cool, airy spot, give plenty of water, and act at the first sign by cooling the environment and offering electrolyte fluid. Prevention means ventilation, constant fresh water, cooling tiles, and light, hydrating foods like cucumber and watermelon.
