Additional Details

Syrian hamsters are clean and captivating companion animals that are best kept individually.

  • Play during the night and rest during the day (nocturnal), but can adjust to your schedule
  • House adult hamsters separately. Different types of small animals should not be housed together
  • Easy to handle but may nip if suddenly awakened from a nap or startled
  • Hamsters have pouches inside their cheeks allowing them to put large amounts of food in them
  • Hamsters can squeeze their bodies through any opening as big as their head
  • The name hamster comes from the German word "hamstern" which means "to hoard"
  • Hamster teeth grow continuously throughout their life so they should be provided with chew sticks to prevent them from becoming over-grown

Short Haired Hamsters, also known as Syrian hamsters, have long been a fan favorite! They are adorable, clean, easy to care for, and entertaining. Their slower movements compared to those of dwarf hamsters make them a bit easier to handle. When hamsters are asleep, they are out! But when they are awake they appreciate an exercise wheel or run-about ball to help them burn off energy. Hamsters have teeth that grow continuously throughout their life, so they should be provided with chew sticks to prevent the teeth from becoming overgrown. Short haired hamsters are the perfect fit for any family looking for a quiet pet with a big personality!
