How to keep a hamster cool

That cooling house does look good...pity its not a bit bigger.

You can do things like put any ceramic or terracotta hides in the fridge and give them to Jas when they are cold. You could try putting her sand in the fridge and putting it back in her sand box when that is cool. You could get a marble tile or what is known as a cooling tile for her to sit or lie on.

You can also soak terra cotta in water and it will stay cooler due to evaporation. However, if the humidity gets too high the evaporative cooling doesn't work as well

Yes teracotta is great for that And it soaks up drips from water bottles!

You’re best off getting the bucatstate castle hide! It’s got a secret compartment at the top and you can put ice packs in, so it keeps it nice and cool without concern!

Yes those are great Both my hamsters have them. They don't seem to be selling them on Amazon any more at the moment though for some reason - I checked the other day.
