Children who have a classroom or home hamster will have plenty to say. Hamsters store food in their cheek pouches and carry it back to their nest. They are most awake at night and early evening, so kids may hear the wheel at bedtime. Real hamsters are golden, cream, white, gray, brown or patched.
Golden hamsters look best with a light orange or tan base and a white belly. Add a tiny pink nose, pink feet and dark eyes with a white dot for shine.
