I remember having a hamster for a pet when I was growing up. My daughter also had a hamster when she was little. Hamsters are popular pets! Here are some interesting facts about hamsters:
Hamsters are nocturnal animals. This means that they are awake and alert at night instead of during the day. Try not to wake a hamster when it is sleeping. A hamster needs its rest.
Hamsters have cheek pouches to store food in. If your hamster fills up his cheeks and moves around his habitat, he is likely hiding food in various places for later snacking.
