Habitat Considerations for Your Hamster or Gerbil

There are a few things to consider when creating the perfect home for your small critter:

• Climate and temperature requirements. Never place your hamster or gerbil habitat in direct sunlight. While gerbils and hamsters typically acclimate to normal household temperatures, room temperature should not exceed 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Provide the largest habitat possible. Your small friend needs the right amount of room to play and exercise.
• Co-mingling with other small pets. Gerbils should only be placed in same-sex pairs if raised together. Otherwise, house adult gerbils separately.—adult hamsters should always be housed separately. Never house either animal with different types of small pets.
• Housing must-haves. Maintain 1-2” of fresh bedding at all times. Soiled bedding should be replaced at least once a week, or as often as necessary. Be sure to include other essentials like a food bowl and water bottle, hideaway, toys, and chews.
