There are several factors that need to be considered when raising hamsters, including the difficulty of raising hamsters, their living habits, their needs for the environment, and the cost of raising them. Here are some of the best hamster breeds for students:
Golden Hamster: Golden hamsters are very popular pet hamsters, they are docile, adaptable and easy to keep. The golden bear is a nocturnal animal that sleeps during the day, making it suitable for the student party to take care of during the day.
Roborovski Hamster: This hamster is small and very active, making it suitable for students who like to observe the lively behavior of hamsters. They are relatively independent and don't require much human-mouse interaction, but they need plenty of space to run.
Eyelash hamsters: Russian dwarf hamsters and Chinese hamsters, they are small in size and require relatively small cage space, suitable for small space environments such as dormitories.
Hamster Bear: This hamster is gentle, adaptable, and easy to care for. They are solitary animals and do not need to live with other hamsters.
When choosing a hamster as a pet, the student party needs to make sure of the following:
There is enough time and energy to take care of them, and although hamsters don't need much time, daily cleaning and feeding is a must. Have the financial means to afford the hamster's initial investment (cage, running wheel, kettle, food, etc.) and daily maintenance costs.
Understand and be able to provide a living environment that is in line with the habits of hamsters, such as suitable temperature, safe cages, suitable bedding, etc.
Be able to find the right caregiver for the hamster during the holidays or at graduation, as the student's life status may change.
Remember, owning a pet is a long-term responsibility and must be carefully considered before choosing.
