Re: Hamster sitting
If they have hams, they should already know how to feed and everything about them. I would just put what he can and cant have. What his hates are and what treats he loves more of so they dont give him too much. My Screech loves mealworms and would eat them until they come out of her ears, so if I was to leave her with someone, I would say only give her two a day so she is not over fed on them.
If you give the cage a full clean before you go away, it should not need a deep clean again, they should just spot clean. You could ask them if they will need any substrate and / or bedding incase they want to clean the cage for any reason.
So the note / instructions can be made to look like a shopping list or a little story or poem.
Humphrey loves mealworms,
especially as a treat,
but I do not overfeed him,
each day he has two to eat.
At night about half past eight,
He goes in his ball,
He thinks its great.
He loves a cuddle,
after hes had a meal,
This gives him joy
and the care he likes to feel.
Or
8pm I usually put him in his ball.
He comes out of his age
Only feed two mealworms as he loves them but cant eat too much.
A supply of food, enough til I come home
etc. etc.
I know which I would sooner read. lol
Or just tell them verbally. They should remember.
