:Understanding Hamster Behaviors
Hoarding: Hamsters instinctively store food in their cheeks and move it to safe places in the cage. This is a normal habit and nothing to worry about.
Digging: Hamsters love to burrow and hide in bedding. Providing a thick layer of bedding allows them to engage in this natural behavior.
Biting: Hamsters may bite for various reasons, such as fear, stress, pain, or feeling threatened. Gentle handling and patience help build trust and reduce the likelihood of biting.
