	Hamsters
		Hamsters are often used as laboratory animals because they can get many of the same diseases as humans.
		Hamster's mouths are like chipmunks because they have little pouches in the cheeks so they can carry a lot of food around.
		Golden hamsters have fur that is soft and silky and yellowish brown to red.

		The Russian Dwarf Hamster, scientifically known as Phodopus sungorus, is a distant relative of the common domestic Golden (or Syrian) Hamster, Mesocricetus auratus.
		Hamsters in their winter coat can be distinguished from albinos by their fl eyes, unlike the deep pink eyes of the albinos.
		In general, put a female in a male's cage, or an older hamster in with a younger one, as females and older adults seem to be the most aggressive and should thus be made the "stranger" in such a pairing.

	PIR: Hamster
		Hamsters were developed as a model for Lyme disease, which is transmitted through the bite of a deer tick.
		Though hamsters do not themselves contract the tick-borne disease, people, pets and livestock are quite susceptible to the bite of the tiny deer tick who carries the parasite responsible for the disease.
		Hamsters will continue to be needed for testing the effectiveness of various antibiotics in treating Lyme disease, as well as in developing diagnostic tests.A desert species commonly known as the Djungarian hamster is found in Mongolia and parts of Siberia and Manchuria.

	Hamster - Dwarf Winter White Russian
		On average the Dwarf Russian hamster can live 1.5 to 2 years, there are exceptions to this with some living longer and others shorter lives.
		A basic standard hamster cage is not ideal for the Dwarf Russian as the bars are usually too far apart and they can squeeze through easily, a cage designed for housing mice is better.
		As hamsters love to burrow a box filled three quarters full with shavings is ideal so they can burrow and tunnel as much as they like.

	Discovery.com News Briefs
		Her study, which appears in the most recent issue of Hormones and Behavior and the current issue of New Scientist, compared the Djungarian hamster's behavior during the birth of its pups to that of the closely related Siberian hamster, Phodopus sungorus.
		The researchers, who studied both species birthing in the lab, found that Djungarians were four times more likely than the Siberian hamsters to sniff or lick newborns at birth.
		The Djungarians are such helpmates compared to Siberian Hamsters because they have to be, says Wynne- Edwards.

	Reproductive aging in the Djungarian hamster, Phodopus campbelli. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Changes in fertility (delivery success), fecundity (litter size and weaning success), sensitivity to pregnancy-blocking stimuli (mate removal after 24 h), and hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian function were assessed during reproductive aging in the Djungarian hamster, Phodopus campbelli.
		Fertility and fecundity were halved by 8 mo of age, and the response to pregnancy-blocking stimuli disappeared by 4-6 mo. Pup birth weight increased with maternal age and decreasing litter size.
		Similarities to reproductive aging in long-cycle species (including primates) suggest that the Djungarian hamster is a useful laboratory model that deserves further investigation.

		On the contrary 2,5 fold increase in the number of “synaptic” ribbons was observed in ganglionectomized animals in comparison to sham-operated controls.
		CONCLUSION: Deprivation of sympathetic innervation leads in Djungarian hamsters not only to suppression of melatonin synthesis and secretions but, as appears from our studies, induces also morphological changes suggesting lower metabolic and secretory activity of pinealocytes.
		Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the ultrastructure of pinealocytes in the Djungarian hamster following bilateral superior cervical ganglionectomy.
