Can you guys tell me some facts about hamsters? I'm bored and would like to know more about hamsters, ive been interested in hamsters ever since I found out they do canibalism and that most are agressive with others since ive always known them as cute little creatures (basically how bussinesses portrays them which means living in small cages, cute, easy pets, are ok in hamster balls, and more)

Hamsters dont just 'do cannabilism". Its when humans put them in specific stressfull situations that they eat eachother. Lets see....

 

Can you be more specific? Like, hamster facts about what? I always find interesting info by going through some older topics

um... hamsters are near sighted,they navigate by whisking which is the movement of their whiskers.

Hamsters can run up to 3 miles a night.

There are 25 species of hamsters, the biggest being the black bellied european hamsters which can grow to be up to 13 inches long.

The european black bellied hamster will eat small frogs and lizards.

Hamsters aren't nocturnal they are just crepuscular, meaning that they are active at dawn and dusk.

The word Hamster comes from the German word "hamstern" meaning to hoard. It is because of their cheek pouches

Hamster's teeth never stop growing which is why they need things to chew on. 

Hamsters looking for a mate, or pups that have fallen out of the nest, may emit ultrasonic calls.

I know too many things, this is a result of the research I did before asking my parents to actually get a hamster.

Syrian female hamsters are actually bigger than syrian male hamsters. I don't know if it's the same for dwarves though..

Male dwarves have a musk and scent-gland literally everywhere, so they smell a bit. Female syrians go through heat and generate a smell that smells like burning rubber. Can also smell a bit.

Gross fact but syrian hamsters have large genitals. Dwarves have small ones that are not seen as much. Chinese hamsters have... very long ones compared to syrians. Yuck.

Could you please keep it all in one post and edit them in? Then, your not really spamming (it feels like that a little), or double/triple/quadriple posting. Thank you

Wait, they have longer genitals? I'm a bit confused; I've heard that they have more see-able genitals than syrians but I may be wrong..

Oh, lmao! I see oop, yikes. Haha, that bum does look alarming, but it's just their testicles. Hopefully somebody switches the conversation to something more pleasant and not about hamster bites..

Hi! I love sharing facts so here we goo...

 

Syrian hamsters are the most common bought hamsters.

The first hamsters came from Syria, though they live all over the world. Some places they lived in are Greece, Belgium, and northern China.

Hamsters can live up to 4 years! (rarely)

It's illegal to own hamsters in Hawaii, because they might escape and start creating colonies that damage crops and native plants.

Red fox eat hamsters.

There are 25 species of hamsters.

Hamsters can pouch up to half their body weight in their cheek pouches (that one really blows me away).

Hamsters eat their soft poops.
