How to Tell if a Hamster Is Cold
Hamsters feel the cold far more than cats or dogs, with a comfortable range of 20–25°C. Below 20°C they start to chill; below 10°C they slow down and risk colds or pneumonia; below 5°C they may enter a dangerous pseudo-hibernation. You can tell a hamster is cold by taking its temperature (under 37°C under the arm or thigh), feeling that it is cooler than usual, or spotting shivering, purple-tinged gums, low energy, poor appetite, and nest-building with bedding. If it goes still with a faint heartbeat, act fast to warm it—pseudo-hibernation can be fatal.
