A small, furry rodent. A popular household pet, the hamster comes in five different species: the Syrian hamster, the true dwarf hamsters (Campbell's Russian/Djungarian, Winter White, and Roborovski) and the Chinese dwarf hamster (which has a prehensile tail, unlike its bob-tailed counterparts). The little creatures like to store food in their cheek pouches, which can also contain plans for world domination. The hamster is nocturnal, and if it has access to a wheel, it will run all not, which can bother the owner, unless the owner has a silent wheel. Hamsters are coprophagic, which means they eat their own fecal matter. Hamsters do not belong in microwaves.
