Is this ok for my hamster?

Question

a while earlier my hamster, cloud was feeling pretty warm and he was'nt his perky self so i thought he was hot...i took his tube and put it in the freezer to chill for a few minutes i just wanna is this ok to do?

p.s hes feeling much better but just to be safe im asking

Answer 1

that was a good idea

just make sure he isn't in the tube when you chill it and that the tube doesn't get too cold or crack

other ideas for helping cloud beat the heat are to serve him cold yogurt or cold plain apple sauce

Answer 2

was your hamster running around before you picked him up? because my hamster runs on her wheel ALL the time and after shes done when i pick her up shes pretty warm.  but maybe he was just hot! is your cage by a window where it could be on the sun? or is your house just warm? as for putting the tube in the freezer i think thats fine, if it was too cold then your hamster just wouldnt go on it. as long as it wasnt coated with ice or anything............your hammie could get stuck to it!! but if its just cool then i think thats fine.

hope i helped!!
