#养一只仓鼠, how much does it cost # I have eight hamsters (pygmy rats) at home, and the main cost is actually in the early stage, including cages, running wheels, water bottles and other basic equipment.
First, the medium cage is generally about 70 (according to the different configuration of the cage, there will be up and down fluctuations, but the gap is not large);
Second, the kettle is bought separately for a few dollars a piece;
Third, the running wheel depends on the size, generally about 20 ordinary size. Running wheels are best to buy larger ones, small ones they run up to the spine will hit, very bad.
Fourth, other toys, hammocks, small houses and so on depends on personal preferences.
Fifth, if it is a larger hamster such as a bear, the cage and other supplies should be correspondingly larger.
Sixth, long-term costs (to a hamster as a benchmark): hamsters eat less, in fact, a year does not cost much money, usually buy vegetables and fruits at home can also be eaten, before feeding to check whether the hamster can eat; In terms of bedding, wood chips are cheap, paper wool is expensive, a pack of wood chips a month is enough, cheap about ten pieces, it is best to use less varieties of wood chips, otherwise it is easy to choke; A bag of diasand for more than a dozen dollars can be used for a month or two; A bag of bath sand is about ten dollars, and it can also be used for a long time.
All in all, it does not cost much to raise hamsters, in addition to the upfront cost of dozens of dollars per month is enough, large hamsters should not be much more expensive. But if you want to be rich, then there is always something more expensive, and the upper limit is difficult to say.
Note:
1. Small lives are very fragile, once raised, they should be treated well, their lives are very short, do not abandon them because they are bitten! They don't have the ability to survive in the wild! Hamsters generally don't carry deadly viruses, I've been bitten a few times, just wash it with soap and apply some alcohol.
2. Hamsters are solitary animals, put together easy to have accidents, either hit the disabled or give you a litter (my family eight is an accident, the other six are only adopted one-eyed silver fox born, her eyes are bitten blind by their own mother. So don't take a chance, you have to raise separately in about 25 days! I started fighting when I was in this nest for 25 days, one of my legs was bitten off, and I was next to them to prepare a new home, but it was only half a minute without watching it, so I would rather split up a few days earlier than 25 days later.
3. Do not put the hamster on the bed when sleeping, I have seen several cases of the hamster being crushed to death because of sleeping.
4. Before raising any animal, do your homework, understand its advantages and disadvantages, and if you can accept it.
5. Hamster timid, sometimes it takes a long time to get started, to be patient, learn more methods, really can't stand to find a good family for him.
I hope they bring you happiness and I hope you will be gentle with them!
