I really love pets: cats, dogs. They are very affectionate, they are happy when you return home, and they are also true friends. But I had a dream to have a hamster and now my dream came true, I got a hamster. From the first days he became my favorite!

My beauty's name is Jenny (I heard this name in a cartoon). Jenny's color is brownish-gray, with a dark stripe on the back. The paws are small, fluffy and the same fluffy little tail, when my hamster sits, the tail is not visible at all. The eyes are black, shiny, like two small beads. Jenny is 9 cm long and weighs 40 grams.

Coming home from school, I immediately ran to a new friend, and one day I couldn’t find the hamster in the cage.

I looked for him for a long time, and only late in the evening we found Jenny in the closet. He was already building a nest for himself out of rags. I began to think about what could happen to the hamster if he runs away, how he will live without my help. Therefore, I decided to conduct research and find the answer to the question that interested me.

All hamsters are herbivores. And the Djungarian hamster is no exception. Feeds on plant foods. From my observations, I concluded that Jenny really loves various seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, oats, millet), as well as apples, pears, cheese, and bread crumbs. When she eats, she sits on her hind legs and holds the food with her front legs. First, the hamster gets a little full, and then stuffs the rest into its cheeks and runs into the house to stock up. It’s in their nature that they need to stock up, but she doesn’t know that I won’t stop feeding her.

After eating, homa must wash his face. It stands on its hind legs and smoothes its muzzle with its front legs from ears to nose. Hamsters, like all representatives of the rodent order, constantly grow their front incisor teeth, so they constantly need to chew something to wear down their teeth. For our Jenny, my mother and I bought a special mineral salt stone. Not only does it help my hamster keep his teeth in order, but it is also a good mineral supplement that helps my pet's digestive system. It is also useful for hamsters to chew the bark of fruit trees. This also improves their digestion. I carry apple tree branches for my Jenny.

The diet of domestic wild hamsters contains the same products

The living conditions of hamsters in nature differ only slightly.

Having compared the living conditions and food of domestic and wild hamsters, I came to the conclusion that my hamster Jenny will be able to settle in nature: she will make a hole for herself, find food, so she can survive in natural conditions.
