Default Re: Heatwave

If I remember correctly, hamsters start to struggle with the temperature once it hits 30°C. Like all animals they can adapt if the temps creep up slowly though. I have nothing to add to keeping hamsters cool as I think everything I do has already been mentioned.

Just a thought, but if anyone can, can you put out dishes of water for the wildlife as they'll struggle too. I have 4 dotted around the back garden and was going to put some out the front. Keep these out of direct sunlight and refresh regularly. Place them by bushes or trees, somewhere with cover so wildlife will be more likely to use it.
