The Syrian hamster is a small rodent with golden fur and large cheek pouches. In the wild, it lives in the dry steppes of the Middle East, and now it is often kept as a pet.
The Syrian hamster differs from other hamsters in its large size, golden coloration, and solitary lifestyle. It is important for science as a model for studying biological clocks and diseases, and is also popular as a pet.
Gnaws hard food with incisors and carries supplies in cheeks.
Symptoms appear 2–4 weeks after infection.
