Introduction
For a time they were used as laboratory animals, as they adapt very well to life in captivity and offer a high reproduction curve: a couple in the course of a year can have thousands of descendants. Then were domesticated pet.

Origin

The Russian hamster is a rodent belonging to a large family. It is formed among others by lemmings and rats countryside.
The scientist KlausHofmann, of the Max Planck Institute in Germany, played a major role in the history of these little creatures as test animals and pets. Hofmann was devoted to the study and breeding during the 1960s. Most Russian hamster, which have become admirers both in Europe and in North America, came entirely from animals that reproduced this researcher at the Max Planck Institute.
Another scientist in 1839the British zoologist George Waterhouse made ​​an expedition around Syria, where he found a tiny rodent smooth coat, tail and googly eyes, who baptized Cricetus auratus.
For nearly a century the only evidence that remained of his skin was tender hamster, which displayed the British Museum. In 1930 Professor Aharoni Zoo University of Jerusalem, met with the burrow of a golden hamster and her sevenpups, while doing field work with students in the Syrian desert.
The “Cacheton”
His thick neck, head acute, membranous medium length ears, big eyes and short legs give it a squat appearance. On the inside of the cheeks have the cheek pouches, pouches designed to carry your food, that inflates when you want to frighten an enemy. Its coat is formed by a soft undercoat short. His front legs arestout, suitable for climbing, digging, swinging. While the rear are weaker and they support him.
A fresh diet
Apart from commercial food (seed mixtures), should suministrársele fresh fruit (apples, pears, grapes) and fresh vegetables (lettuce, tomato) always well cleaned and dry dried fruit (cashews, almonds, walnuts ...) crumbs bread, small portions protein (ground beef, beef liver, lean cheese,boiled egg yolk), integrators based on vitamins and minerals, fresh clean water, diluted fruit juice, water, milk.

An ideal place
A cage clean, spacious and accessories play an appropriate place in the house to place his cage, where he can sleep during the day without being disturbed and where to rowdy in the twilight and night
By its nature solitary hamster does not like to be petted theirsleep are sacred and result in health and longevity are rodents As restless love run around a closed room must take care not to chew on the baseboards, wallpaper, clothing clothing, electricity cables continued growth of the forces limarlos incisors with hard foods.
lone fighters
The hamster, being of solitary nature, does not live well with their peers. Male and female should be together only toperpetuate the species and whenever you want them out young.
The rest of the time is better to separate. Neither should be favored because female pools arise fights. A peaceful coexistence is likely only among males. It is a not very long-lived animal that lives successfully raised about two to three years.

Variety of colors
In nature, the common color for Russian hamsters is usually a shadeof brown, gray and white, with a black dorsal line color or dark gray in most cases, and a stain of the same color in the area shoulder. Within mutations or mixtures that occur between them (for scientific reasons) there are combinations like:
- Argente: a combination of genetic traits between rodent Campbell and Russian. Its color sepia, while their backline can be golden brown.

- Canelo:gray is coming to be malformed and non-linearity in the head. He's a hamster usually live less than usual.

- Mandarin: mutation hair is colored orange, over time, will leave a lathe turning yellowish-brown.

- Pearl: a different tone color usually gray, which dates its appearance from the 80 or 90 of the twentieth century.

So there are different colors, the most common off-white and gray...
