Do hamsters hibernate?
Hamsters kept as pets do not hibernate, even though they do in the wild. However, it does happen that some animals do hibernate. This usually happens in the spring. The hamster lover will then find a hamster deeply asleep. Even if the hamster is cool to the touch, eyes are closed, and signs of life appear to be low, the golden or teddy hamster has not died.
How to arrange a gold hamster enclosure?
Teddy hamsters or golden hamsters are very agile animals. In search of food, free-living hamsters cover several kilometers during the night. They build underground nesting chambers, which are connected with tunnels. This requires space and therefore we recommend an enclosure of 1m² floor space and additional levels. Also a lot of bedding should not be missing, because a passage system can be up to 80cm deep and consist of several chambers. To satisfy the curiosity of the hamster, scatter food and animal protein in the enclosure. They look in every hole to see if insect can be found. Our hamsters do not differ from their wild relatives. In their movements and their urge to move they are the same. A species-appropriate hamster wheel and a species-appropriate diet are therefore mandatory!
What are the food requirements of a golden hamster?
If you want to buy hamster food, then the following applies to consider. Golden hamsters and teddy hamsters have a very varied food supply in their home country. In the summer months, they diligently collect and stash almost everything in their hamster jaws. They like to polish off any kind of herbs, grasses, fruits, grains, seeds, vegetables and of course insects like crickets. Small mammals are also on their menu. In the colder winter months, they feed on what they have gathered. Mainly, the hamster then feeds on dried herbs, cereals and seeds. When buying hamster food, be careful not to buy it in a pet store.
