Hamsters are very cute little creatures that love to nibble on things, so teething supplies are essential for them. In the market, there are many kinds of teething supplies, and how to choose the best teething supplies has become a problem faced by many hamster owners. Here's how to choose the best teething supplies.
First, the choice of molar
Molar is one of the most commonly used teething supplies for hamsters, and it is a small piece of stone made from natural materials such as wood, bone, etc. Molar is characterized by being safe, durable, and easy to clean. When choosing molars, pay attention to the following:
1.Materials: Molars made of wood or bone are better because they are soft and won't scratch hamster teeth. Other materials such as metal, plastic, etc. may cause damage to the hamster's teeth.
2.Shape: Molars should be varied in shape that can attract the interest of hamsters and make them more willing to nibble. At the same time, the shape of the molars should also fit the size of the hamster's mouth so that they can easily chew.
3.Hardness: The hardness of molars should be moderate, too hard will hurt the hamster's teeth, and too soft will not achieve the effect of teeth grinding. In general, mollars made of wood or bone are moderately hard.
4.Cleaning: Mollar is easily dirty and needs to be cleaned frequently. Choosing easy-to-clean molars can help prevent bacterial growth and maintain hygienic hygiene.
Second, the choice of teether
Teething sticks are another common teething item for hamsters, which are small sticks made of soft materials such as corn cobs, apple cobs, etc. Teethers are characterized by being safe, easy to use, and effective. When choosing a teether, pay attention to the following:
1.Material: The material of the teether should be non-toxic, non-stinging, and will not cause harm to hamsters. In general, teethers made from natural materials such as corn on the cob, apple cob, etc., are safer.
2.Shape: The shape of the teether should fit the size of the hamster's mouth so that it is easy for them to chew. At the same time, the shape of the teether should also be varied, which can attract the interest of the hamster.
3.Hardness: The hardness of the teether should be moderate, too hard will make it difficult for the hamster to bite, and too soft will not achieve the effect of grinding teeth. In general, soft teethers made from natural materials are more suitable for hamster teeth.
4.Cleaning: Teethers are easier to clean, but they should also be cleaned and disinfected regularly to avoid bacterial growth.
In addition to the above two items, there are also teething bath sand, mineral stones, etc., which can also be used as teething products for hamsters. It should be noted that hamsters should not gnaw on hard objects such as mineral stones for a long time, otherwise they will cause damage to their teeth.
Choosing good teeth grinding products is an important part of ensuring the health of hamsters. When choosing teething supplies, you should pay attention to the material, shape, hardness, cleanliness and other aspects, and choose the supplies that are suitable for your hamster. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to regularly replacing and cleaning supplies to maintain environmental hygiene. Only in this way can our hamsters grow up healthy and happy.
