Prepare the hamster’s bed
Prepare “the bed” for the hamster before its arrival. This will help it feel comfortable in its new environment and adapt more quickly. Here are some tips to prepare the hamster’s bed.
First, choose a quiet spot in your home where you can place the hamster’s bed. It should be protected from drafts and disturbances. You can then choose the type of bed you want for your hamster. There are many types of bedding available on the market, but you should choose one that is large enough for your hamster to move around freely. You can also make your own bed from fabric or paper.
Once you have chosen the hamster’s bed, you need to fill it with a layer of bedding. There are many types of bedding available, so choose one that is suitable and non-toxic for hamsters.

Clean the hamster’s bed
How? Easy:
- Remove all items from the hamster’s bed, including bedding, toys, and food.
- Clean the cage with a pet-safe cleaning product.
- Rinse well and thoroughly dry the cage.
- Replace the items in the hamster’s bed.
- Let the hamster enter its cage and play.
Clean it daily to maintain a clean and healthy environment.
Maintain the hamster’s bedding
The hamster’s bed should be clean and dry to prevent infections and diseases. It is recommended to clean the hamster’s bed with a cloth soaked in warm water and soap, then rinse it with clear water. The hamster’s bed must be completely dry before placing the hamster in it.
The hamster’s bed should be placed in a calm and quiet location, away from noise and vibrations. It should not be placed near a heat source, such as a radiator or stove. The hamster’s bed should also be protected from drafts.
The hamster needs to rest and sleep about 14 hours a day. Allow the hamster to sleep peacefully in its bed without disturbing it. If you have children, explain to them that they should not disturb the hamster while it is sleeping.
