What temperature does a hamster need to be in the winter?

The ideal room temperature for hamsters is between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. If the room temperature is below 65, the hamster may become cold and lethargic. If the room temperature is above 75, the hamster may become overheated and stressed.

To keep your hamster warm in the winter, you can:

- Place the hamster's cage in a warm room of the house.

- Use a heating pad or heat lamp to provide additional warmth.

- Cover the hamster's cage with a blanket or towel to help keep the heat in.

- Give your hamster a warm hiding spot, such as a fleece-lined hut or a cardboard box filled with shredded paper.

It's important to avoid placing the hamster's cage near drafts or in direct sunlight, as this can cause the temperature to fluctuate too much.
