The White Bear Hamster is a variety of the Syrian hamster and belongs to the first-line category of hamsters.
They have an all-white coat, and most of them have red or black eyes. They are relatively small in size, with a body length usually around 19 centimeters and a light weight. The White Bear Hamsters generally have a rather irritable temperament, so they are somewhat difficult to raise, especially not suitable for beginners. They are nocturnal animals, preferring to sleep during the day and be active at night. Therefore, when raising them, it's necessary to make sure to provide sufficient food and a quiet environment.
The native regions of the White Bear Hamsters include Syria, Lebanon, and Israel. They didn't officially become pets until they were introduced to the United States in 1938. Their lifespan is usually 2 to 3 years. When raising them, it's important to maintain a suitable temperature, usually around 27 degrees Celsius, avoid overly noisy environments, provide a variety of foods, and refrain from feeding them human food or exposing them to direct sunlight.
