Common species are golden bear hamster, big cheek hamster and small cheek hamster. Golden bear hamster has a mild temperament and is suitable for dormitories that need a quiet environment; Hamsters are lively and active, which is a good choice for students who like to play. Hamsters with small cheeks are relatively independent and need their owners to spend more time and energy socializing.
2. hamster's food choice
Hamsters also need to pay attention to their food choices. The main foods of hamsters are cereals, seeds, fruits and vegetables. However, it should be noted that hamsters eat very little and can't eat too much food, otherwise there may be gastrointestinal problems.

3, hamster breeding environment
Keeping hamsters in the dormitory needs to provide an environment suitable for their living. Generally speaking, it is necessary to provide a larger cage, a proper amount of sawdust, a vegetable basin, a water bottle and so on.
In addition, we should keep the hamster's living environment clean and hygienic, change the sawdust in the cage at least once a week, and clean the food basin and water bottle. At the same time, it is suggested to put a pet sanitary pad in the cage every day for easy replacement.
4. Activity and socialization of hamsters
Hamsters are lively animals, but dormitories are usually small and need to provide some activity space. It is suggested that hamsters should be released for 20-30 minutes every day to get enough exercise and activities.
In addition, hamsters also need to socialize. It is suggested that students take some time to interact with hamsters every day and gently touch them with their hands to strengthen the affection between pets and their owners.
