How does water pollution and air pollution affect a hamsters living condition?
First let’s start off with what is water pollution and air pollution. Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies (e.g. lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers and groundwater). This form of environmental degradation occurs when pollutants are directly or indirectly discharged into water bodies without adequate treatment to remove harmful compounds. Air pollution is the presence in or introduction into the air of a substance which has harmful or has poisonous effects. Thing that could affect the hamster is if the water is clean or not, what kind of disease are in the water and how much human activity there is. For air pollution everyone is affected by it in one way or another because there is tons of carbon dioxide everywhere we go because of cars, plants and construction. Most of the water we drink today has to go through a filter for us to drink the water because of how much we have polluted our water with garbage, oil and other harmful bacteria.
It looks like throughout the weeks our hamster got chubbier. According to the research I did this is normal for a hamster. It could be just that our hamster looks fat because that is the case for most hamsters (Hamsters are usually perceived to look fatter then what they are). The other thing is that we have been feeding our hamster to much food or treats so it has been gaining weight. Our hamster should be about 6-7 ounces. I think that our hamster’s growth rate is normal for an average tabby bear hamster.
