Why you need a cage thermometer
Having a cage thermometer allows you to monitor your pets surrounding temperature.

What can you do to help your hamsters during hot & cold temperatures?
Hamsters have an ideal temperature range which is between 20 - 25 Degrees celsius or 68 - 77 Fahrenheit. Hamsters should be able to withstand up to 30 degrees celsius however if the temperature exceeds 25 degrees celsius some changes need to be made. This is because if your hamster becomes too hot they can suffer from heat stress or heat stroke which could be fatal. During hot temperatures a cooling matte can be used to help keep your hamster cool and comfortable. Also switching out paper substrate for things such as wood shavings with a large area for soil or sand is recommended.
Hamsters should be able to withstand down to 15 - 20 degrees celsius or 59 - 68 fahrenheit. If your hamster becomes too cold they are at risk of going into torpor or hibernation which is where they attempt to reserve their body heat by going into a deep sleep which could be dangerous. To keep your pets warm in cold temperatures you can add a few inches of paper substrate to the cage as well as providing them with some exrtas pieces of tissue paper stips to use as bedding in their nesting areas. You can also purchase things such as snuggle sacks which are pouches with a soft fabric lining which can be placed inside the cage. The snuggle sack will provide your pet with a nice cosy sleeping area to ensure they are warm & snug.
