The hamster is a small, nocturnal rodent commonly kept as a pet. Hamsters are known for their compact size, rounded bodies, and short tails. They have large cheek pouches that they use to carry food and bedding to their burrows. Hamsters are omnivorous, eating a variety of foods including seeds, grains, fruits, vegetables, and insects. They are solitary animals and prefer to live in small enclosures with bedding for nesting and areas for exercise. Hamsters are known for their ability to hoard food in their cheek pouches and store it in their burrows. They are also prolific breeders, with short gestation periods and large litters. Hamsters have a relatively short lifespan, usually ranging from 1.5 to 3 years depending on the species. They are popular pets due to their small size, low maintenance requirements, and cute appearance.
