Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is the ideal temperature for hamsters?

Answer: 60 degrees to 72 degrees

If the temperature gets below 50 degrees hamsters go into hibernation. And they hardly ever live through temperatures below freezing.
2. Where is the best place for a hamster's cage?

Answer: Table height

Hamsters will catch colds easily if exposed to drafts, that's why you shouldn't keep the cage on the floor. A tall book case is too high up, and their cage could easily fall. And a bathtub just isn't practical.
3. Should a hamster's cage be placed where there is a lot of light?

Answer: no

Hamsters do not like too much light or direct sunlight.
4. Which of the following should you NOT do?

Answer: Start playing with your hamster as soon as you bring it home

Give your new hamster time to adjust to their new environment before playing with it.
5. Is it OK to pick up a hamster by the scruff of its neck?

Answer: No

Hamsters should be cupped in your hands, after allowing them to get used to being near you.
6. How long can you expect your pet hamster to live?

Answer: Between one and two years

Most hamsters live for no more than two years, although there are exceptions.
7. Changing the soiled bedding of a hamster's cage should be done once every two weeks.

Answer: False

You should change soiled parts of the bedding regularly, but don't remove clean bedding as hamsters like to arrange it to suit their personal requirements.
8. Can you go away for a day leaving your hamster alone?

Answer: Yes

You can leave your hamster by itself for a day without too much worry, but be sure to give it plenty of water and dry food (ex. grains, pellets, or honeysticks). Leave a fresh carrot or an apple as a snack. Ideally, ask someone to call in to make sure the hamster has come to no harm.
9. Weight loss, apathy, dull fur, and red eyes in your hamster mean which of the following?

Answer: I am sick or old

10. Which of the following is a bad thing to feed your hamster?

Answer: Greens picked along roads

Greens picked along the roads could have car exhaust fumes on them or could have possibly been sprayed with chemicals.
