Hamsters are like other pets that have unique behavior which the owner should be aware of. It is not enough that you see hamsters as cuddly and cute but you should also know how to handle them and even tame so they won't bite you.

Are you aware that hamsters are solitary in nature? A hamster doesn't like to live in a cage with fellow hamsters. They like to be alone although there are breeds like Dwarf hamsters that can live in pairs or groups as long as they are introduced to other hamsters early. In the first three to four weeks of life, young hamsters are usually driven away by their moms to be on their own. Hence, they are used to getting things their way and do not depend much on other hamsters.

Hamsters are generally clean and odorless compared to other pets. They usually separate their bed with their eating containers and even make a separate space for them to play. They are not used to appearing dirty so owners must see to it that the objects inside their hamster's cage is well-organized so that their pet will enjoy its stay inside the cage.

A hamster is also nocturnal which means they are asleep during the days and awake at night. At nighttime, they like to play, make some noise and do their stuff. Make sure to put their hamster cage in a portion of your home where you and your family will not be disturbed when sleeping.

Hamsters also love to dig holes and stay in tunnels. That is why cage accessories like artificial tunnels with several chambers were made. Hamsters can play and crawl within the tunnel. You can purchase these tunnels in different pet stores and these are available in various shapes, sizes and colors. Make sure the tunnel you chose will fit inside your hamster's cage.

Most of all, hamsters like to chew or nibble just about any food or object that they can take hold of. To keep them in good condition make sure to remove objects that can injure your pet and give them only healthy foods. You can also buy accessories like a "chewer" that you can present to your pet hamster to nibble.

You can now purchase your own pet hamster since you already know their different characteristics. Be a great pet owner and take good care of your pet hamster.
