Common Name: Syrian Hamster
Variety: "Teddy Bear"
Expected Life Span: 2.5 -3 Years
Temperament: I have found Teddy Bear Hamsters to be very easy to work with and are usually good with kids.
Handling: When I handle hamsters and rodents I like to put them in a container with some bedding, a little house to hide in, and some broccoli. People love seeing the hamsters stuff huge flowerets of broccoli into their cheeks and the hamsters seem to enjoy it too.
Fun Facts: Syrian hamsters have expandable cheek pouches in which they can store up to half their body weight in food.
