About the habit of a hamster.

● A hamster is a nocturnal living thing.

A hamster is a nocturnal animal which begins activity from the evening and becomes the finest at midnight.

However, if the room which keeps the hamster is illuminated by the electric light at night, he is sleeping in many cases.

The sleeping hours of a hamster are about 14 hours.

As compared with man, quite long time is spent on sleep.

Your sleep will be blocked by the noise of a hamster if the cage is placed near the bedroom.

Since especially hamster wheel makes sound, I recommend you to buy the thing of a silence design.

When I began to have kept a hamster, I was surprised at the sound "GOGOGO" which sounds at midnight.
When the cause of sound was investigated, it was the sound in which the hamster is playing hamster wheel.

If you look into a cage early in the morning, a sight about which the hamster is moving vigorously will be caught.
A motion of a hamster becomes blunt as the sun rises.
When you go to work or a school, he goes to sleep.

Dawn is best if you would like to enjoy the fine figure of a hamster.

If the habit of a hamster is taken into consideration, it is desirable to perform cleaning of a cage in the evening.
He will be woken up, if a cage is cleaned while the hamster is sleeping daytime.
When going to a pet shop to buy a hamster similarly, the evening time when they begin activity is most suitable.
Since a sight about which the hamster is moving vigorously is caught, it becomes easy to make selection of purchase.

However, the hamster is not necessarily sleeping in the daytime.
It is not necessarily working at night, either.
A hamster is the animal which might work slightly in the daytime and may be sleeping at night.
