How often should you be cleaning out your hamster’s cage.
The correct cleaning frequency recommended by hamster experts, and we have some answers.
Djungarian hamster,, Siberian hamster or Siberian
You should fully clean your hamster’s cage every week. With an exceptionally large cage, you can get longer intervals between cleaning. Ideally, you should be spot checking your hamster’s cage on a daily basis. This involves removing wet and soiled litter from the cage, as well as any uneaten fresh food, and replacing the soiled litter with fresh litter.
Cleaning a hamster’s cage is a bit of a process, and you have to be thorough and regular with your cleaning; cleaning the cage too often or not often enough can cause stress or illness in your hamster. Keep reading to see what your cleaning routine should include – at which frequency.
Daily cleaning of a hamster’s cage
Cleaning routine every hamster owner needs, this is what you need to do on a daily basis:
1. Inspect the cage.
2. Remove visible debris such as chewed toys and leftover food chunks.
3. Get wet and dirty bedding out and replace with fresh dry bedding.
Weekly cleaning of a hamster’s cage
Once a week, you should get your hamster out of the cage for a more thorough cleaning. Here’s how to go about it, step by step.
Make sure your hamster is completely removed from the cage before cleaning.
Everything from the cage needs to be removed: old bedding, toys, exercise stations, the food bowl, and the water bottle.
Wash Items
Everything that was inside the cage needs to be washed thoroughly to get rid of any potential bacteria. Inside and out these items need to be washed out, and they must be properly rinsed and thoroughly dried before being placed back inside the cage.
Clean the cage itself
Even though the bedding and litter were covering most of the cage, the entire cage still needs to be cleaned. If there is bedding or litter stuck to the floor or bars of the cage, you can either scrape them off or soak in warm soapy water..
Put everything back.
Ensure that every item that belongs in the cage is dry before putting it back inside. The bedding should be fresh, as well as the litter and any food and water. Only after everything is set up inside should your hamster friend be placed back inside.
