Owning a... hamster

Hamsters are nocturnal, desert-living rodents found in the deserts of Syria. They have pouches in their cheeks, which they use to store and transport their food. Hamsters are very clean animals and love to be cuddled and played with. They can be very entertaining since they are great acrobats and will often be seen hanging from the bars of their cage.

This site deals only with the Syrian hamster - for information on other hamster breeds go here.
