Hamster Food Facts

Hamsters have a highly developed sense of smell, and can detect the presence of food in their surroundings through a network of scent glands located on their whiskers.
Hamsters are primarily nocturnal, and as such, their eyes are sensitive to light, making them prone to 'hamster vision' - a temporary blindness caused by bright light exposure.
Hamsters are expert hoarders, and will store food in their cheek pouches for up to 20% of their body weight.
Hamsters can survive for extended periods without food or water, but not without exercise - a hamster's heart can only beat for so long without a decent treadmill.
