Hamsters don’t get enough credit for how adorable they truly are. Hamsters have been kept as pets for a very long time, and for good reason. Not only are these clever critters cute and sweet but also they make great pets that are relatively easy to care for, at least in comparison to a dog or cat.
One of the reasons hamsters are so irresistibly cute is their huge chubby cheeks, which they use to transport food back to their burrows in the wild. These cheek pouches can measure two times the size of a hamster’s face.
Despite how awesome hamsters are, around only 2% of the American population has one for a pet. If you don’t already own one, perhaps this list of huggable hamsters will inspire you to get your very own hamster.
