On this page you will find general info on Hamsters. Hamsters are a favorite among pet owners.
Hamsters are fat and fuzzy.
They move more slowly than mice who are very active and quick too do. They can be nervous but become less so with handling. They do have an odor from their urine so cleaning the cage is an important part of owning a hamster. They can also be grouchy if woken from a sound sleep or if bothered while eating. They may squeal or bare their teeth if they have time but will nip at your fingers if not.
