In the wild, the Syrian or Golden hamster is endangered, but as a pet it thrives as one of the most popular domesticated members of the rodent family. The tiny pets only grow to be approximately 5-7 inches in length, and can live for up to three years, if properly cared for. Their sweet and curious demeanor makes them desirable pets, and more attractive than other rodents because their tails are not visible. They are, however, extremely territorial, and great care is required when raising more than one, especially if the sexes are mixed. In this free video clip series, our expert will outline the basics of Syrian hamster care, demonstrating the types of supplies and equipment a pet owner will need, proper methods for bathing and feeding, as well as information on common illnesses the hamsters can suffer from. Discussions on free roaming hamster care is included.
