Cage toilet corner should be cleaned daily. Full bedding change 1-2 times weekly. Wash cage monthly with warm water and mild soap. Hamsters hoard food — remove old stashes to prevent spoilage.
Yes, rabbits can roam indoors, but make the house safe first. Hide electrical cables, remove toxic plants, pick up small objects. 3-4 hours of free roaming daily is important for rabbit health. Litter training is possible — rabbits are intelligent animals.
A hamster needs a cage of at least 60x40x30 cm — the bigger, the better. Choose a cage with a deep base to prevent bedding from spilling. Cages with plastic tube systems are fun for hamsters but difficult to clean. Wire cages are best for ventilation. A running wheel is essential — minimum 20 cm diameter.
For hamsters: specialized hamster food, seed mix, small amounts of fruits and vegetables (apple, carrot, cucumber). For rabbits: hay (timothy hay is the main diet), vegetables (parsley, cilantro, broccoli), pellet feed. For guinea pigs: hay, vegetables rich in vitamin C, fruit. Never feed any rodent chocolate, citrus fruits, or potatoes.
Hamsters bite when scared, stressed, or when your hands smell like food. Never touch a hamster without washing your hands. Don't wake them up — hamsters are nocturnal animals. Tame gradually: first place your hand in the cage so they get used to your scent, then gently pick them up. This process can take 1-2 weeks.
Rabbits make excellent pets — they are calm, clean, and can be trained. However, consider these factors: spacious living area (cage + exercise time), daily hay supply, protection from electrical cables (they chew them), daily cage cleaning. They live 8-12 years. Spaying/neutering reduces aggression. Getting a pair is better — rabbits are social animals.
Best options: paper-based bedding (Carefresh), wood shavings (AVOID cedar and pine — toxic), hay and straw. For hamsters, provide at least 15 cm depth so they can burrow. Don't use newspaper — ink can be toxic. Cotton-based materials can tangle around legs. Change bedding 1-2 times per week.
