Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your PawHut Hamster Cage, begin on a flat, clear surface to ensure all panels align correctly. Tighten screws evenly to prevent gaps in the frame. Once assembled, ensure the cage is placed in a quiet, climate-controlled area away from direct sunlight or drafts. For compatibility, ensure your exercise wheel is appropriately sized for your specific hamster species to avoid spinal strain. Regarding care, spot clean the cage daily by removing soiled bedding. Perform a full bedding change and sanitize the base with pet-safe disinfectant every 2-4 weeks. Always check the door latches periodically to ensure they remain secure as the unit settles over time.
