Hamsters
by Mya
Hi lions this
months newspaper is going to be about hamster. you know
those tiny pets that look almost like a rat but have short tails and in
my opinion are way cute. You might think since hamsters are tiny that
they are an easy pet to take care of but thats not completely true.
hamsters are a lot of work especially if you have a baby one.this is
because they grow a lot so there gonna need a lot of food and there
gonna be too big for all the things you got them when they were babies.
also there teeth grow non stop so they need so thing to chew on because
if they don't there teeth will grow very long and become stuck together
so they won't be able to open their mouth. okay enough of all the bad
things. some good things about hamster are they are very smart so you
can set up mazes with random things in your house and your hamster will
more than likely be able to figure out how to get out.they also don't
bite so you dont have to worry about younger kids holding them. most of
all they are very cute fun pets to have
If after
reading that you think that regular hamsters aren't for you
might like dwarf hamsters which are just like normal hamsters but a lot
smaller and they don't grow so you wont have to worry about buying more
stuff like you would for hamsters that grow. even though dwarf hamsters
are tiny they still do most of the same things as other hamsters
would.there are four types of dwarf hamster campbell's russian dwarf,
winter white russian dwarfs, chinese and roborovski dwarf. roborovski
are the tiniest hamster they are less than 3 inches. russians and
winter white hamster are very similar and get mixed up a lot scientists
have classified them as the same species for many years.campbell’s
dwarfs are the other russian hamster and they are most commonly found
in pets stores. chinese hamsters are regular hamster but are mistaken
for being dwarf because of their size.
