All About Hamsters

Hamster - This small, short-tailed, prominent eared rodent is found in pail brown or grey or white colours on its upper parts with pure white underparts.

It's rear feet are short and broad, with dense fur on the under side for jumping across hot, loose desert sand as this animal is found in desert environments of Russia, Syria, China, Roborovski and hot parts of Western Asia.

Hamsters, cram seeds into their internal cheek pouches and take them back to thier burrow for storage. They feed on seeds, nuts, ants, flies, cockroaches, bugs and even wasps...they also eat insects such as beetles, locusts and earwigs.

Hamsters are aggressive towards other hamsters depending on their breed ( and mood.. :P..), They have to get rid of their own coat of dirt, old fur, tangles and pests such as fleas rather than relying on mutual grooming like many social rodents.
