Trivia about the golden hamster

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-16

The Syrian hamster, also known as the golden hamster, is native to Syria and Turkey and has a golden-brown coat color overall, with a creamy or white belly.

Syrian hamsters in the wild live in arid areas, where they burrow deep underground. The hamster burrow is 3 meters deep and has several chambers. One of the chambers is dedicated to going to the toilet, a habit that makes pet hamsters a very clean pet. Syrian hamster cages remain relatively odor-free because they choose a corner of the enclosure that is dedicated to excretion.

Syrian hamsters are solitary animals and do not like to live with other people. Keepers separate the cubs when they are a few weeks old to prevent siblings from killing each other.

All Syrian hamsters have "cheek bags" to store and carry food. The cheek pocket is a ** bag that extends from the mouth to the side of the body to the buttocks. Hamsters' cheek pouches can be filled with items that are almost equal to their own body weight.

Hamsters' teeth never stop growing, and they have to gnaw and chew hard things to grind them out.
