It won't take long for your newly acquired hamster to become a cherished part of your family. These beguiling, adorable creatures will find their way into your heart. They can be tamed, and after they get used to you, they love to be held and gently petted. They are perfectly happy as solitary creatures. In general, hamsters are said to enjoy human company more than the company of their own.
Hamsters do have a propensity to escape.
You should take extra measures to make sure their cages are secure. It is sad when they die, but while they are here, you can provide a warm, loving and caring home for them. No hamster could ask for more. While hamsters make delightful pets for small children, it is very important for parents to instruct children on the proper care, feeding and handling of their new hamster pals and to supervise them closely during initial encounters. Hamsters should be handled gently.
