  • Hamsters can squeeze their bodies through any opening as big as their head

Dwarf hamsters, like the djungarian hamsters, are popular pets as they are half the size as their Syrian cousins, and just as delightful. Their habitat can either be a glass aquarium with a tight fitting mesh lid or a hamster cage with an escape proof bottom. Like other rodents, djungarian hamster’s teeth continue to grow, so it is necessary to provide safe chew sticks and treats to prevent them from over-growing. Hamsters are mostly nocturnal and will be most active at night, so take into consideration as you pick an exercise wheel or their cage location.
