Notice: amp_is_available was called incorrectly. `amp_is_available()` (or `amp_is_request()`, formerly `is_amp_endpoint()`) was called too early and so it will not work properly. WordPress is currently doing the `pre_get_posts` hook. Calling this function before the `wp` action means it will not have access to `WP_Query` and the queried object to determine if it is an AMP response, thus neither the `amp_skip_post()` filter nor the AMP enabled toggle will be considered. It appears the theme with slug `publisher` is responsible; please contact the author. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Syrian Hamster
The Syrian hamster (often called Golden hamster) is the most common species of hamster used as pet.
Why is it so popular? Well, it has a good size (not too small), it’s cute, and it’s more social and curious than the other types.
Normal adults are 5-7 inches long (13-18 cm) and weigh around 120-125 g. In the wild they live for 2-3 years, but as pets they can become up to 4 years old (when given a healthy and well-balanced diet).
The original color of Syrian hamsters was a mix of gold, brown and black, but nowadays they come in all sorts of patterns and color variations.
An adult Syrian hamster can’t share cage with another, because they are very territorial. They will fight furiously, sometimes even to the death. So make sure your little friend gets to live alone (in a cage suitable for Syrian hamsters).
Pups must be separated from mothers and siblings before they are sexually mature. Four weeks is a good rule of thumb. Litters normally consist of 8-10 pups.
Roborovski Hamster
The Roborovski hamster (Robo) is relatively small. Adults are only 1.8-2 inches (4.5-5 cm) in length and 20-25 g in weight.
The fur is sand-colored, and they have white spots just above the eyes and a white belly. However, there are ten variations of the Robo, all with slightly different characteristics.
Robos usually live for around three years, and their average litter size is six pups.
An adult is usually around 3.9-4.7 inches (10-12 cm) long and weighs somewhere in the region of 30-45 g.
Their life expectancy is 1-2.5 years, depending on diet and the season they are born. Those born during summer seem to live longer.
When living as pets, they get four to six pups per litter. In the wild, the average is eight.
A good thing about Campbell’s dwarf hamster is that they are sociable enough to be able to live both by themselves and in groups.
Winter White Russian Dwarf Hamster
The Winter white Russian dwarf hamster (also known as the Djungarian hamster) is a short and almost ball-sized hamster that can withstand very low temperatures.
It has a grey stripe along the spine, and a dark fur that turns white during winter. However, when living as pet the fur doesn’t always change in color.
Winter whites are normally 3-4 inches (8-10 cm) in length, and around 30-45 g in weight,
Normal life expectancy in captivity is 1-3 years, and only one year in the wild.
