Syrian hamsters, also known as golden hamsters, are one of the most popular pets in the world. Their friendly nature and ease of maintenance make them ideal companions for people of all ages. They come from Syria and Turkey, where they live in dry and desert environments. In natural conditions, they lead a nocturnal lifestyle, and during the day they hide in their burrows.

In home breeding, Syrian hamsters require appropriate conditions to enjoy good health and well-being. It is important to provide them with a spacious cage with suitable substrate, hiding places and toys. Syrian hamsters are very active, so they need plenty of movement and opportunities to explore. Regular cleaning of the cage and replacing the substrate are essential to maintain hygiene and prevent diseases.

The diet of the Syrian hamster should be varied and rich in nutrients. The basis should be dry hamster food, supplemented with fresh vegetables, fruits and herbs. It is important to avoid giving hamsters sweets, chocolate and other products that are harmful to their health. They should also have constant access to fresh water.

Breeding Syrian hamsters requires knowledge and preparation. Females reach sexual maturity at the age of several weeks, but it is recommended that the first mating take place only after the age of 4-6 months. Pregnancy in Syrian hamsters lasts about 16 days, and up to a dozen young can be born in one litter. It is important to provide the female with peace and appropriate conditions during pregnancy and after childbirth.
