INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Just like other pets, hamsters have different personalities or lifestyles based on their breed. There are many different types of hamsters, so researching them are important to pick out a good friend for your house. Syrian hamsters -- Also known as golden or teddy bear hamsters, Syrian hamsters are the most popular breed. They are easy to handle and are great for children. They are best kept separate from other hamsters, and are completely nocturnal. Dwarf Russian Campbell hamster -- Unlike Syrian hamsters, Dwarf Russian Campbell hamsters are social are do well in groups. They make good pets, but are not quite as easy to handle. They are also more active in the day time. Dwarf Winter White Russian hamster -- Dwarf Winter White Russian hamsters are much like their Dwarf Russian Campbell cousins in temperament and lifestyle. They are a bit smaller and quite quick and have been known to bite when nervous. They may not be suitable for very young children, but their sweet and expressive personalities make them great pets for older children or adults. Roborovski Dwarf Hamsters -- Due to their small size (1in-2.5in) and active nature, these hamsters are not necessarily the best for handling. They are social and good natured, and are nocturnal. Chinese Hamsters -- Also known as Striped Hamsters, Chinese hamsters are slightly timid but can be handled well. They are a solitary breed, and can be aggressive if housed together. They are also nocturnal. Hamster breeds come in all different sizes, colors, and hair length. Behaviors can also range between female and male hamsters. Hamsters range from around 1 inch-7 inches, depending on the breed. Smaller breeds, like the Dwarf breeds, may not be best suitable for younger children. Larger breeds, such as Syrians, may be better suited for handling and interaction. Hamsters come in many different colors and patterns. Syrian breeds are more golden, but also can have brown patterns that reflect the "teddy bear" name. Dwarf Russian hamsters can come in a beautiful white or gray color. Hamsters typically come in brown tones, but also can be white, black, gray, spotted, or striped. You can choose a hamster with short hair or long hair, depending on breed time. Syrian teddy bear hamsters can sometimes be called "fancy," which means they have long, silky hair. Female hamsters may be more aggressive than their male counterparts. If you plan on getting more than one hamster, experts suggest keeping them all the same gender. If you want to handle and play with your hamster, consider getting a breed that can handle this, such as a Syrian hamster. If you would like to observe hamsters in their habitat, a smaller, more active hamster, like a Dwarf variety, may be best for you.

SUMMARY: Research a breed that will fit into your lifestyle. Pick a hamster based on a physical attributes that you like. Understand that gender plays a role in behavior. Ask yourself how you will be interacting with your hamster.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Try waking your hamster with the sound of your voice. Go near his cage and begin speaking softly. You may even try humming or singing until he is awake. Another way to rouse your hamster is to offer him a treat. Try holding a treat out where he is sleeping (close enough for him to smell it) and allow this to draw him from his sleep. You may use a small piece of a vegetable (like carrot or broccoli), or a store-bought hamster treat. If your hamster is sleeping out in the open, another option is to gently blow in his face. Of course, you do not want to startle your hamster, so begin with a mellow release of air, and increase in intensity until your hamster begins to wake. Whatever you do, avoid jabbing or poking at your hamster. This is not an effective way to wake him up because he will immediately become defensive. If he is roused in this way, he will not want to be held or to play. Remember, the point is to wake him without scaring him, so avoid swift or jarring movements. Instead, whenever you approach your sleeping hamster, move slowly. This allows him to wake gently and in a good mood.
Summary: Talk to him softly. Offer him a treat. Blow in his face. Avoid poking him. Move slowly.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: When you're ready to be happy again, it's a good idea to spend a little time focusing on yourself. Spoil yourself, take care of yourself, and focus on making the changes that you want to make in your life. This will help give you time and opportunity to learn something about yourself and become a better person. You'll always feel bitter if you are left thinking that your suffering had no purpose or that those once happy memories are now spoiled because of how things turned out. Help yourself to future happiness by finding meaning in the things that happened. Look for a lesson to be learned or a knowledge gained. See that your bad experiences are there to make your life better and embrace them for that. A great first step to living your new life is to try something new. This will help you feel the tangible difference between who you were then and who you are now. It will help you see your new strength. Do something you've always wanted to do. Do something adventurous. You can travel, take a new job, or anything else that you feel gives you new experiences. Eventually, you'll want to find yourself a new community. A new place to belong, a new group of friends, maybe even someone new to love if that is what you lost. These new people will also help you do new things and have new experiences to build happy memories of. You can meet new people by taking a class, joining a club, or even joining an online community. You might feel, even if you don't realize it, that if you enjoy yourself "too soon" or you find happiness "too soon", that it diminishes the worth of the thing you lost. But that isn't true. And it keeps you from being happy. Let yourself have a good time and don't feel bad about it. You do deserve to be happy. If you find that you're having trouble getting back to business as usual on your own, and that maybe your sadness might be out of control or unusual: seek help! Don't think that getting professional help means you're weak or broken. Just the same as how you'd see a doctor and take medicine when you have the flu, you should get professional help when your brain doesn't quite act right.

SUMMARY:
Focus on yourself for awhile. Find meaning in your experiences. Try new things. Meet new people. Let yourself have fun and be happy. Get help.
