Product Description
Black Bear hamsters are line bred from the standard Syrian hamster to have a solid color coat giving the appearance of larger eyes. They can learn to enjoy being handled with regular positive interactions with their human companions and also make excellent observation animals. Curious in nature, black bear hamsters thrive when kept in habitats with exercise wheels and tubes, as well as soft non dusty bedding to dig in. During feeding time, it is not uncommon to see a hamster store food in their large cheek pouches until it can be moved to what they feel is a safer place.

- Max Size 6 inches; 5.3 ounces

Give fresh water and hamster food daily. Treats formulated for hamsters can be offered on occasion

Habitat and Care
A single hamster should be kelp in a habitat of a minimum of 12x12x18. As a beginner level animal, teddy bear hamsters are fairly easy to care for. Clean food and water need to be offered daily, and hamster specific chews should be rotated to help keep their teeth from overgrowing. Hamsters benefit from a variety of exercise wheels, as well as tubes and tunnels for enrichment. Hamsters can be territorial and adults should not be housed together. Daily spot cleaning of the habitat is recommended and a weekly deep clean is required to keep your animal healthy long term. Hamsters can be handled outside their habitat with caution. Do not expose them to any dangers in the home environment.
