Teddy Bear Hamsters, or “Fancy Bear” get their name from their majestic fluffiness. Their long fur is culprit of their cutesy description along with the fact that they are the hamster species that is most commonly adviced to be the first pet of a child. They are part of the Syrian Hamster breed, and they are differentiated from others for being docile and friendly. That being said, it is important to keep in mind that every hamster will attack when they feel threatened or scared, and just because Teddy Bear Hamsters are usually gentle, that does not mean that you can abuse them or mistreat them and they will surely defend themselves if you do so.

Characteristics & Traits of Teddy Bear Hamsters

Teddy Bear Hamsters are one of the most longevous species of fluffs. They can live up to three years if well treated and taken care of and there has been recorded evidence of Teddy Bear Hamsters living even longer than that. It is important to take care of your Fancy Bear as they could be a little bit more demanding in terms of affection and care than other hamsters.
