Firstly.... field? In the evening? Wanna get Dengi ah? Small animals cannot be out in the afternoon.... already 1 member's hamster died during an afternoon gathering with the rest of the small animals suffering from drooling coz of the heat, we would not want to risk it. Already said before earlier but nobody gets it? This is why we must do at a place with a roof and that it is cool.... and evening is the best time for hamster and gerbils and whatever small animals to come out. If we do it earlier, we disturb their natural routine and stress them too.

Oh? From the ears and feet? Hamsters release heat by breathing hard, drinking water and drooling.... when they drool, whole neck wet like it viomited... pity last time.... it's the same with gerbils too.

So the best is an evening gathering heheheh
