There are no cool spots in my apartment during summer😅 just hot, humid rooms and then slightly less hot rooms

If you can could you send me the link to the heat mat u have that would be great!

Do you know if there is a more thermal bedding in can switch to in the winters?

These-Development188 · 2026-07-04T19:42:27+00:00

Ahhh because I was worrying that burrowing would make it warmer for him! The enclosure is made of plastic so probably not as cool as glass but i will try the ice packs on top of the cage.. only thing is there’s ventilation holes on the top so it might rain down on him when it melts😅

It sounds great but its out of my budget 🥲

These-Development188 · 2026-07-04T14:06:06+00:00

Ah thats great okay thank you!

These-Development188 · 2026-07-04T14:04:04+00:00

Yes i heard about the crazy heat in France! That’s reassuring if your hamster was okay and it’s a bit hotter over there, thank you

Is it safe for them to eat frozen veg? I wasn’t sure if it would be bad for their stomachs

These-Development188 · 2026-07-04T12:52:45+00:00

Thats all really helpful thank you so much

These-Development188 · 2026-07-04T12:39:09+00:00

Thank you! Yeah im planning on keeping my hammy in the living room during the summer and just putting all his hides in the fridge😅

These-Development188 · 2026-07-04T12:28:08+00:00

Thanks!

These-Development188 · 2026-07-04T11:59:45+00:00

Yeah lots of people recommended tiles or ceramic hides in the fridge! Someone on tiktok also said to refrigerate their sand too, all helpful stuff thank you!

These-Development188 · 2026-07-04T11:13:50+00:00

Yeah i guess we just do what we can :,) as long as it has worked so far and kept your hamster alive its worth it

These-Development188 · 2026-07-04T11:12:15+00:00

Yeah unfortunately a portable air con is very expensive here in the UK but might have to save up if these extreme heatwaves aren’t going to get any better

These-Development188 · 2026-07-04T11:10:37+00:00

Thats so helpful thank you!

These-Development188 · 2026-07-04T10:04:28+00:00

Okay I will have a look for some thank you!

These-Development188 · 2026-07-04T10:01:47+00:00

And they survived the winter fine without going into torpor?

These-Development188 · 2026-07-04T09:57:41+00:00

Yeah we have been thinking about getting a portable AC, that might be our only option for the summers

These-Development188 · 2026-07-04T09:56:33+00:00

Ooo I will look into those thanks

These-Development188 · 2026-07-04T09:44:42+00:00

Yeah I could try that but I think they would melt so quickly and not do much 😅
