Syrian Hamsters

Syrian Hamsters are sweet, lovable hamsters originating in Syria. They are larger than Dwarf Hamsters, and live anywhere between 18 months-3 years, but some have lived longer.
Syrian Hamsters are nocturnal creatures, meaning they are awake at night and sleep most of the day. Their big eyes look like they would have good eyesight, but they really have poor vision and use their sense of smell and whiskers to help them navigate.


There are many different types of Syrian Hamsters. Some of the different types we have owned are:
