What are some things i should no about hamsters

All Syrian hamsters (including Teddy Bears, which are named that simply because they have long-hair, but in reality they're genetically the same as short-haired Syrian hamsters) are descended from a small number of hamsters that were brought from the Syrian desert in the 1930's. Knowing that they are desert animals explains a lot of their behaviours...

-they are nocturnal. They are most active (and noisy!) at night. Unless you can sleep through a freight-train, don't keep the cage in your bedroom. If you gently wake your hamster up at the same time each day, especially with some yummy treats and friendly conversation, you will find that the hamster will start changing his/her schedule to wake up at that time.

-they store food. Hamster have cheek pouches in which they can cram all sorts of food into, to carry back into their nest. Because they evolved in a desert, they lived in a land where they hand to travel great distances to find food. They would store the food in their cheek pouches and then take it back to the nest, and add it to their hoarde. When you clean a hamster's nest, you will find all sorts of food stored away. When you're cleaning the cage, just throw it out because your hammy has already eaten the best.. add new food into the cage at this point.

-They are escape artists. If they had a cage the size of a foot-ball field, a hamster would STILL try to escape. It's not personal, it's just how they are. They can run miles on their wheel at night, but given the choice, they'd rather get out and see what the world has to offer them.
