General Tips About Syrian or Golden Hamster Care

Video Transcript

Hi! My name is Sarah. I work at Extra Care Animal Hospital. I am one of the technicians there. I am here at Petland at Pembroke Pines today to tell you a little bit about hamster care on behalf of Expert Village.com. Hamsters are interesting little rodents with cheek pouches and short stubby tails. They have gained popularity as pets in the last few years and were originally introduced to the United States in the 1930’s. The hamster that you have seen in most of the pet stores is the Syrian or Golden Hamster, and that animal’s wild habitat extends through the Middle East and southeastern Europe. Since their domestication, several color and hair coat varieties of the Syrian Hamster have arisen through selective breeding. The three groups which now exist include: the common golden hamster, colored, short-haired fancy hamster, and the long hair teddy bear hamster. If you would like any more information about the animal hospital that I work at, you can go to www.extracareanimalhospital.net, and if you would like anymore information about Petland in Pembroke Pines, you can go to www.petland.com.
