  11. History • Hamsters are thought to be originally from the desert lands of Asia • In Syria and other Middle Eastern countries where hamsters are common • the farmers do not only harvest their own fields, they dig into the hamsters' granaries as well. • In each burrow they find a storage bin which may hold anywhere between 30 and 60 pounds of grain which the hamsters have stored away for the winter. • Hamsters got their name from an old German word associated with storing food. (The word "hamper" comes from the same root.) • One of the characteristics of the hamster, like many rodents, is to stuff their cheeks full of food, which is a hamster-like activity.

  12. Reproduction • Male hamsters should mate at 14 weeks old. • Female hamsters should start being bred at 10 weeks old • The pregnancies last about 151/2 to 16 days • Litters range from 5 to 10 pups
