    Correct Answer
    A. Mesh and wire
    Explanation
    Mesh and wire wheels should never be used in a cage for hamsters because they can cause serious injuries to the hamster's feet and legs. The small gaps in the mesh or wire can trap the hamster's feet, leading to broken bones or other injuries. Additionally, the rough surface of these wheels can cause abrasions and sores on the hamster's feet. It is important to provide a wheel with a solid surface, such as a hard plastic or wooden wheel, to ensure the safety and well-being of the hamster.

    The ideal temperature for hamsters should be around 65-75 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature range provides a comfortable and suitable environment for hamsters to thrive. It is important to maintain a consistent temperature within this range to ensure the well-being and health of the hamsters. Temperatures outside of this range can cause stress, discomfort, and potential health issues for the hamsters.

    Correct Answer
    A. Iceberg lettuce
    Explanation
    Iceberg lettuce is not suitable for hamsters because it lacks nutritional value and can cause digestive issues. Hamsters require leafy greens with higher fiber content, such as romaine lettuce, to maintain a healthy diet. Iceberg lettuce is mostly water and lacks the necessary nutrients, making it an unsuitable choice for hamsters.
