5 Interesting Facts About Hamsters!

Hamsters' cheek pouches are extraordinary - they extend all the way back to their shoulders and can hold as much food as the rest of their body. They can carry up to half their body weight in food in their cheeks.
In the wild, hamsters are solitary and fiercely territorial - two hamsters sharing a space will fight viciously, which is why most pet hamsters should be kept alone despite seeming lonely.
They can run up to 8km in a single night on their wheel - the equivalent of a human running a marathon every night before bed, which explains why they need such large enclosures.
Hamsters are crepuscular - most active at dawn and dusk - and are quite grumpy if woken during the day, which has surprised many children who expected a more cooperative pet.
Wild hamsters can hibernate for up to three days at a time during winter, entering a very deep sleep that can be difficult to distinguish from death - a fact that has caused considerable distress to hamster owners over the years.
