Why do they called syrian hamsters teddy bear hamsters2007-11-24 22:19:50Answers:

I think its beause they resemble little teddy bears!

my husband always says how our syrian hamster looks like a mini grizzly bear, and its true, he does. Syrians are the biggest breeds, and can get quite padded out round the middle, so I guess he is my little mini bear. But teddy bear and goldern are all just nicknames for the correct term, syrian.

Teddy bear hamster is a type of Syrian hamster. They are usually a browny golden colour, and especially their noses/mouths look like teddy bears! They are especially cute in the teddy bear position (on hind legs).

They are referring to their coat type or color. Teddy bear hamsters are usually long haired and a cream or brown color. "Golden hamster" refers to short brown fur, usually with a white stomach, "Black Bear" hamsters are black, etc.

Generally, pet stores like to advertise and seperate the different coat types because it offers more business. Sometimes, they even sell different types for more money, when really they are all the same type of hamster. :)
