There are many different types of hamsters, but the most common is the golden hamster. They have a round body with short legs and a pointed snout. Their fur is usually a light golden color with darker stripes. Golden hamsters are social animals that live in groups called “families” or “colonies.” They are active during the day and sleep at night.
