Black Bear hamster question

FemaleCheetah · 03-16-05

I just got a black bear hamster today and I really dont know that much about him. I only paid $30 for the hamster, cage, cage accessories, full bag of food, full bag of bedding, ball and a bunch of spair peices to add to the cage. I already have 10 dwarf hamsters but I have never owned a black bear hamster before.... can someone please tell me about these little guys?????

the black bear is just a black coloured syrian. i have had mine for 2 weeks and he is adorable. seems to be just like a normal syrian, (but much more adorable =) )

yes, like jkudach said. black bear is just a fancy name for a black syrain hamster...

syrains are solitary hamsters...they don't like to be kept in pairs (one syrain hamster per cage)

i find syrains to be very loyal hamsters and very easy to tame if given the love and attention they require.

as soon as my syrain Lily hears me enter my bedroom she climbs to the top of the cage and begs to be let out or offered a treat.

i personally never owned a black bear but they are really cute little guys!

i like the ruby eyed creams which are born through black bears (so i've heard) they are REALLY cute!

our little black bear Ralph is sooo sweet! like Lily-when he hears us he gets up on 2 feet and greets us! apparently they have good personalities cuz I haven't heard a complaint from anyone.

except for the whole ONE to a cage thing... Oh and jkudach, WELCOME to PetsHub!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^lol anyway If you own 10 dwaves you will be fine! It was just surpizing I guess that you would get him then come here suddenly wanting to us to "save you" lol... I don't know when people REALLY do that I want to slap em' . So sorry I just had to shout that out for some reason...
