After they leave their mother, hamsters are solitary animals. These small mammals have a life span of about 2 to 2.5 years. The coat is black with some white markings on the feet and a white mark on the chest. Like all rodents, the hamster's front top teeth continue to grow throughout its life. It must gnaw on hard things to keep wearing the teeth down.
Hamsters eat grains, seeds, grasses, fruit, roots, stems, and small animals like worms and insects .
They can store food in their large cheek pouches.
