This video of a hamster wrapped in a paper towel like a tiny burrito, just its little face poking out the top, is the brain palate cleanser you didn't know you needed.
Some hamster facts, since you're already here: They're crepuscular (most active at dawn and dusk) and navigate mainly by smell and touch because their eyesight is terrible. Those expandable cheek pouches can store food all the way back to their shoulders. In the wild, they build elaborate burrow systems with dedicated rooms for sleeping, food storage, and the bathroom.
Of the 24 hamster species, only a few make good pets — Syrian and dwarf varieties being the most common. Their teeth never stop growing, so they need constant nibbling material. Most live 2–3 years, and Syrians are committed loners who prefer the single life
