"Why are sand baths so important for hamsters? 🛀🐹⏳

Like Chinchillas', Hamsters cannot be bathed in water, as it strips their fur of all its natural oils. It is important to therefore provide your hamster with a sand bath, so they can keep their clean coat shiny and their skin in the best condition.

What bathing sand do you use for your Hamster, Chinchilla or Gerbil? Read our blog to find out more about Sand Baths for your furry friend {link in bio}

Rabbits have a highly specialised digestive system that is fine-tuned to extract maximum nutrition from a high fibre diet. Having a complex system means that gastrointestinal (GI) stasis is one of the clinical signs most commonly presented to vets, with 54% of vets saying that they see rabbits with GI stasis either frequently or often.

GI Stasis is a potentially dangerous condition where the digestive system slows down or stops completely. It can result in a change in bacteria in the gut, which can lead to dysbiosis and in severe cases, can even be fatal. It is therefore essential to seek veterinary advice if you think your rabbit has symptoms.

GI stasis is caused by many things – pain for example, dental spurs, stress, underlying disease making your rabbit feel unwell, or even gastrointestinal blockage. Sometimes we never find out what causes it.

The best way to help prevent GI Stasis is by feeding your rabbits a high fibre diet, with unlimited quality hay, a carefully measured portion of high fibre nuggets, plus a handful of fresh leafy greens and fresh water.

A high fibre diet will help to maintain gastrointestinal function as well as preventing teeth from becoming overgrown, which is another common illness in rabbits which can lead to GI Stasis.

Here are some of the common symptoms you should look out for:

• Loss of appetite
• Hunched posture
• Reduced, smaller or absent poo pellets
• Lethargy
• Loud teeth grinding
• Bloating

One of the main ways to treat GI Stasis with your rabbit is by syringe feeding with a liquid feed such as our Science Selective RecoveryPlus, but always wait until advised by your vet so they can rule out any blockages. Our blog has lots of information on how to syringe feed your rabbit.

Rabbits can often hide any signs of illness, but if your rabbit demonstrates any symptoms of GI Stasis, contact your vet (or emergency vet if out of hours) immediately.

A hamster's diet needs to be based on a nutritionally balanced diet, such as our Science Selective Complete Hamster Food or Tiny Friends Farm Tasty Mixes. Alongside their main diet, your hamster should have access to fresh water all the time and fresh foods, such as selected fruits and vegetables. Hamsters will also enjoy occasional treats, such as our Selective Naturals Harvest loops with Peanut, Apple and Linseed or Tiny Friends Farm Stickles which help with enrichment and natural foraging. It is important to research the feeding sizes and safe foods for your hamster, you can find out more on our website.

What do you feed your Hamsters?

Rabbits can shed all year round but will often have heavier moults twice a year when heading into spring and autumn, however, some rabbits and especially house rabbits will appear to moult almost constantly.

Regular grooming when your rabbits are moulting will help to prevent any matted fur as well as remove any loose fur that your rabbits may ingest whilst grooming themselves, which can cause blockages.

• Before grooming your rabbits, make sure that you have everything you will need ready, so you don't have to leave your rabbit unattended to grab anything you have forgotten.
• Place your rabbit on a towel either on top of a table, or on your lap, or if they are prone to jumping then it may be safer to groom them whilst they are on the floor.
• Gently brush in the direction of hair growth, taking care around your rabbits' ears and eyes. Taking short breaks to pet your rabbit will also help to keep them calm and relaxed.

During a heavy moult, it may be necessary to brush your rabbits daily. You can break these sessions up into short daily sessions so they will be less stressful for your rabbit.

Has moulting season started for your rabbits?

Hamsters' habitats may seem complicated, but really the requirements are fairly simple. Providing your hamster with a clean environment, with enough space to stay active, plenty of hiding spaces and an alternate substrate (like a sand bath) should keep them happy and healthy. The cage minimum for all hamsters is 100cm x 50cm x 50cm - but bigger is always better.

Kallie from @dumplings_world is showing us how to clean and set up a safe and happy Hamster enclosure with our Supreme Petfoods products. Our Tiny Friends Farm Keep It Clean is great for making sure your hamster's enclosure is clean at all times; it eliminates any odours and keeps everything hygienic for your little friend – just make sure the enclosure is dry before adding back your hamster items. Our Tiny Friends Farm Eco Bedding is a great choice for their main substrate, not only is it super absorbent, but it holds burrows amazingly. A clean enclosure keeps your hamster happy and healthy, with the Science Selective Bathing Sand you can keep your hamster coat nice and healthy too.

What producta do you use to clean your hamster enclosure? 🧼🐹

Just a reminder with the UK's September heatwave to keep your indoor rabbits cool as well as outdoor bunnies, ways you can help to keep your indoor rabbits cool:

• Use a fan to cool down their environment. Make sure the fan isn’t blowing directly onto them and that they can move away from it if they want to. Also, remember to protect those wires too!

• You can purchase ice pods to keep your rabbits cool or simply fill up an empty bottle with water, then freeze and cover it with a sock or pillow case, so your rabbit can lie down by them to cool down. Tiles also provide a cool spot for your rabbit to lie on.

• Blackout blinds or closing any curtains can help to keep the sun out. For outdoor rabbits, you can use a parasol to create some shade.

• Make sure your rabbit has access to plenty of fresh water - add more bowls if needed. You can also offer veggies or herbs soaked in water to help keep them hydrated.

• As rabbits lose heat through their ears, you can dampen them slightly to help cool them down.

• Grooming your rabbit regularly will help to remove any excess fur, plus remember to check their bottoms daily!

• As well as keeping your rabbits cool, it’s essential to keep your rabbits' environment clean as flystrike is more common during the summer months.

For outdoor rabbits, you can follow the same steps as above but if you are struggling to keep their environment cool, it may be safer to bring them indoors to a cooler room during the day.

Please remember never to give your rabbits any ice cubes or frozen food to help cool them down as this can cause digestive problems.

Also, remember never to submerge your rabbits in water to cool them down.

Rabbits can often hide any signs of illness, but if you notice any signs of flystrike or heatstroke (such as lethargy, fast breathing, confusion or unconsciousness) then please contact your vet immediately.

With the UK's September heatwave expecting to last throughout this week and over the weekend, we thought we would reshare ways to keep your outdoor rabbits cool with @Henry & Moo Moo

☀️ Position your rabbits' home in natural shade if possible - under trees helps to keep their shed/run cool
☀️ Open all windows & doors to allow airflow
☀️ Create shade with a parasol or sail shade
☀️ Roll-up run covers - PVC is awful in hot sun & creates heat like a greenhouse which will make it unbearably hot inside
☀️ Check your rabbits' bottoms daily & ensure your rabbits' areas are clean to help prevent fly strike
☀️ Lavender bags can help keep flies at bay - add these to various parts of your set-up (out of reach from your rabbits)
☀️ Ice Pods are great for helping to cool your rabbits down. Simply pop them in the freezer - when they are frozen add them to your rabbits' set up for them to lay on. Plastic bottles filled with water & frozen are also good
☀️ A fan can make a huge difference when it’s extremely hot. Ensure the fan & cables are safely out of reach of your rabbits
☀️ Provide fresh water throughout the day
☀️ Place damp towels in areas of your set-up
☀️ Dampen your rabbit ears with cool water - DO NOT bathe or submerge your rabbit in water
☀️ Check on your rabbits regularly - do not over-fuss them - they will pick their cool spots to relax.
☀️ Still allow the garden free roam (fully supervised) as they will find their favourite bit of shade within the garden

Rabbits can often hide any signs of illness, but if you notice any signs of flystrike or heatstroke (such as lethargy, fast breathing, confusion or unconsciousness) then please contact your vet immediately.
