Pet Hamster in Coat Pocket
Hamsters were first discovered in Syria, but they are native to many parts of the world. The name they go by today is derived from the German word “hamstern,” which means “hoard”—because that is exactly what they do with any extra food they might find. Although their cuteness makes them popular with prospective pet parents, these animals have some special requirements that must be met in order for them to be happy and healthy. The most common pet hamster is the six-inch Syrian, also known as the golden hamster or teddy bear hamster. Syrians have a lifespan of two to three years. Although they are viewed as the quintessential pet for kids, hamsters are nocturnal by nature
