There are not many different types of hamster, but there are many people who want to adopt one! Tons of pet stores have them so ask your parent where they sell hamsters. Many people enjoy dwarf hamsters which are very fun and energetic.
Hamsters aren’t really the type of pet that does tricks. But it can climb straight up a hamster tube and straight down one. They are also super active. They can run in their hamster wheel for over an hour! A lot of people think that’s crazy.
Hamsters have an appetite for seeds. They eat all the time. Not as much as guinea pigs, but still a lot. Their favorite seeds are sunflower seeds. They also need a water bottle filled at all times.
Whether they are running around in a hamster ball or in a cage on your desk, hamsters make great companions.
