As you can see, I'm a pretty handsome guy!
I'm what's know as a 'syrian' hamster, but I also get called a 'golden' or a 'teddybear' hamster. I don't mind being called golden, but teddybear? Aaaargh!
I tend to sleep most of the day (and also most of the night!) - this whole idea that 'Daves' are 'nocturnal' is a bit of a myth. I get up between 9-10pm in the summer and can be as late as 12-1am in the winter. I'll eat, pouch (store food in my cheeks for later), go to the toilet then probably mooch back to bed for a quick snack from my hidden hoard. After that, I'll get up again and run run run! 'Daves' are built for speed and once I'm in the 'zone' nothing can temp me off my wheel!
After a couple of hours running, I'll head back to bed for a power nap. I generally spend my nights in short spurts of activity followed by longs spells of sleep!
