Long-haired

The Long-haired Syrian Hamster, often referred to as the "Teddy Bear" hamster due to its plush, fluffy coat, is a mesmerizing small pet that captivates with its charming appearance and gentle nature. Originating from the Syrian region, this breed is a variant of the standard Syrian hamster, distinguished primarily by its luxurious, flowing fur which requires regular grooming to maintain its softness and prevent tangling. They come in a variety of colors and patterns, adding to their appeal as a unique and eye-catching pet.

Long-haired Syrian Hamsters are solitary creatures, preferring a life of independence, and are best housed alone to prevent territorial disputes. They possess a curious and adventurous personality, making them delightful to observe as they explore their surroundings with enthusiasm. With consistent, gentle handling from a young age, these hamsters become quite tame and can form a bond with their human caretakers.

As nocturnal animals, they are most active during the evening and nighttime hours, which makes them ideal for people who are often away from home during the day. Long-haired Syrians require a spacious habitat enriched with various toys and exercise wheels to accommodate their playful and active lifestyle. With attentive care and proper nutrition, they can live up to 2-3 years, offering their owners many moments of joy and companionship.
