Warm bedding?

[Emma_]

Hi! Sorry for being inactive for so long, I've been doing some school work that was given to us for the summer (and really should have been done earlier haha)

Its getting a bit chilly at the moment and it got me thinking about what beddings everyone recommends for the colder weather?
And also, how well do hamsters tolerate the cold?

Thank you
Emma

Whatever you do don't give your ham the fluffy bedding, yes it looks cosy but it's dangerous.
I just provide extra toilet tissue when it starts getting colder.

With syrian hams you probably want to keep the room temp not lower than about 18 C, I have dwarfs & they tolerate temps down to 14 or 15 no problem but I do think syrians are a bit less tolerant of colder temperatures.
Just make sure you have a really good deep layer of substrate so they can dig down into that if they want to & as Lizzy says provide some extra toilet tissue so they can make a nice big cosy nest!
