If you’re looking for a new companion to add to your family, hamsters can be a great choice. Consider adopting a Teddy Bear Hamster if you want to adopt a hamster, but are looking for something a bit different.

Teddy Bear Hamsters are a long-haired version of the Syrian hamster. The length of their hair can vary from a short halo of fuzz to a long, lengthy mane that must be groomed. In most cases, Teddy Bear Hamsters are golden in color, but they do have white spotting and some are a bit browner than others.

On average, they grow anywhere between 4 and 5 inches in length and live for 2 or 3 years. Because they are nocturnal, they will spend the majority of the day sleeping and the majority of the night active.
