You can also temporarily move the cage. You might put the cage in an interior room, a walk-in closet, or a basement for a few days.
Cover Your Hamster’s Cage
One of the easiest ways to help your hamster is to cover their cage or hutch. A covering will block out any light and can help muffle noises too.
Think About Music or TV
Putting on the radio or TV might fill in the space with a hum of chatter and changing noise that will help fill in the gaps between fireworks.
Let Them Dig Deep
Hamsters often burrow into substrate to sleep, but burrowing is also a way for them to feel safe during stressful times.
Prepare in Advance
Changes can be stressful, so a little bit of advance prep can be a lifesaver. If you decide to move your hamster’s cage, consider moving it a day or two before you’ll actually need it.
