Do you know...

  • Hamster are crepuscular by nature meaning that they are primary active around twilight (ie. dawn or dusk).

  • Hamsters have fur-lined pouches on both sides of their cheeks that extend all the way to their shoulders, which they stuff full of food to be stored, brought back to their nest.

  • Hamster tails are very short except for the Chinese dwarf hamster whose tail is the same length as the body.
  • Hamsters are excellent listener and particularly sensitive to high-pitched noises.

  • Hamsters communicate among themselves in the ultrasonic range that is beyond normal human hearing range.
