It was thought that mango, as a highly scented food, would speed the hamster through the maze as he was guided by his sense of smell. The conclusions using another stimulus were inconclusive. So again hamsters do learn but it would appear they are also curious. They are small, about 3-5 inches (mouse like) and can fit in the palm of your hand.ħ Results The evidence for this is that the second run through the maze was almost always longer then the first. Their natural condition is a dry, hot desert climate. Animals such as the hamster are nocturnal creatures because the habit in which they are found is to hot in the day and they are risk from predators so they came out as it starts to cool down (at night) Hamsters are nocturnal creatures that may on occasion bite if bothered while sleeping remember that since hamsters are nocturnal they make noise at night!

Wild hamsters sleep during the day in the deepest part of their burrows to avoid predators and wake up after sunset, being active on the ground for a few hours in the early and late parts of the night. In captivity, the golden hamster is most active at night, but in the wild, it is a crepuscular animal. The size of adult animals ranges from 5 to 7 in (13 to 18 cm) long, with a lifespan of two to three years. turn off all lights and set your timer going 5.do the same thing but this time with all lights onīackground information The breed of the hamster is the Golden hamsters (A.K.A the Teddy Bear hamsters).
