Syrian hamsters are cute little rodents and they make excellent pets.
The average lifespan of a hamster is 2 years, depending on how well they are looked after. Syrian hamsters are quite short
sighted and can only see 15cm's in front of them. They rely on smell and sound, not vision. Because of this sudden
movements can frighten hamsters, and if they are frightened they can give a painful bite.
Hamsters are
not vicious by nature, and can become very friendly once they get to know their owner. Syrian hamsters come in many colours
and sizes, and all of them come out at night. All hamsters have cheek pouches and constantly growing front teeth. They are
chewers by nature, and can be very destructive in their cages especially if they are bored. Hamsters should have a nice big
cage, and plenty of exercise to keep them happy.
