Hamster Care Requirements
To support Bunbun’s welfare and comfort, the following setup is required:
Housing & Environment
- Enclosure measuring at least 90 x 50 x 50 cm or larger
- Placed indoors in a cool, well-ventilated area
- Not suitable for balconies, even if shaded, due to heat risks
Bedding & Substrate
- Unscented, soft bedding that supports natural burrowing behaviour
- Safe substrates to allow exploration and enrichment
Sand Bath
- Unscented sand in a container approximately A5 size for grooming
Essentials
- Water bottle
- Food bowl
- Running wheel: minimum 27 cm diameter for Syrian hamsters
Temperature & Conditions
- Ideal environment: ~25°C with ~40% humidity
- In warm environments, hamsters may reduce burrowing and show signs of stress
- Ensure good airflow and ventilation, especially in homes without air conditioning
