Friends who want to raise hamsters may wish to start with the following types of hamsters.

The first type, golden bear< /p>

This breed of golden bear is certainly familiar to many rat lovers. It is the largest domestic hamster at present. It looks like a giant dumpling when held in the hand.

The second type, silver fox hamster

The silver fox hamster is very beautiful with its silver-white hair and starry eyes.

These hamsters are very popular because of their small size and docile nature.

The lifespan of a silver fox hamster is usually 2 to 3 years, although some individuals may live longer.

To extend the lifespan of a silver fox hamster, owners need to provide a proper diet, moderate exercise, a clean and comfortable habitat, and provide regular veterinary check-ups and care. Paying attention to maintaining good physical health and mental state can help your silver fox hamster enjoy a longer life.

It has a very good temper and is very willing to get close to people. It is even more docile and lively than a third-tier hamster.

Like most hamsters, Purple Cang’s biggest hobby is sleeping, and its sleep time is longer than other species of hamsters. When Purple Cang is sleeping, the owner should not disturb it, otherwise Purple Cang will be very upset. This may cause greater stress.
