The way of the general cleaning of a hamster cage.

● The way of general cleaning.　

1.Let's move a hamster to safe somewhere else, such as a carry case and a plastic case.
If a hamster is taken out out of a territory, it will feel stress.
If the flooring material and nest in a cage are put in, it will settle down somewhat.
Since the hamster which it just began to keep is not used to environment, being touched by man has fear.
He throws away the food accumulated in porch of a cheek, makes the body light, and escapes anyhow.
Since it is difficult to catch him by hand, when he is resting in the nest, it is effective to make it move the whole nest.

2.Please take out breeding tools and a toy from the inside of a cage.
Then, let's bring a cage to a bathroom.
As a place where a bathroom cleans a cage, it is most suitable.

3. Let's throw away all the flooring materials in a cage into a garbage bag.
In the case of a wire net cage, it is easy work, but in the case of a tank cage, since it is heavy, it takes time and effort.

4. A cage is washed with water.
Detergent is attached to sponge and a cage is washed.
If it finishes, let's wipe off moisture with the dry towel.

5. With detergent, let's also wash breeding tools and a toy in a bathroom.
If it finishes, let's wipe off moisture with the dry towel.

6. Let's cover a cage with a new flooring material.
Let's exchange toilet sand and the sand of sand bath for a new article.

7. Let's install breeding tools and invite a hamster to a cage again.

● Checkpoint.

About cleaning of a water supply machine.
If a water supply machine is used for a long period of time, inside will become dirty from scale.
Let's check and clean inside.
If the brush of the size which can invade into a water supply mouth is used, it will be easy to clean up.
It is found useful if one is prepared.

● The notes of general cleaning.

If general cleaning is performed frequently, it will become the stress of a hamster.
They attach body odor to a territory and it claims that that is its land.
It is the same as disappearance of a territory for a hamster that its body odor disappears from the inside of a cage.

For this reason, as for general cleaning, it is best that about 2 times carries out in one month.
