This is my 1st to see so cute action.

Behavioral Disorders
There are a number of genetic "disorders" which affect some hamsters in the US.  I do not have research on them nor can I confirm the method of transmission of the disorders.  I do know from my experience and the experience of others that they run in family lines.  They are not confined to certain color or pattern genes.  Above all, I know that they are not desirable traits and should not be perpetuated.  (I would love to have any research on these if people are able to find any.)  They also seem to be involuntary.  The hamster cannot stop the behavior.  Thus, hamsters that exhibit any of these traits should be retired as breeders.  Their parents and siblings should also be retired.  Additionally, anyone who has purchased from these lines with the intention to breed should be notified of the problem.  Unless the traits are extreme, the hamsters would not have to be put down but can live out their life as pampered pets.

The first is "back-flipping." This is common in the Campbells.  The hamster starts on his feet, does a complete flip backwards, and again lands on his feet.  Sometimes they add a bit of a twist and land facing a different direction than they started from.  (This is different than a hamster who falls on his back and may roll or "swim" around the cage on his back.)  Back flipping does not usually show up until they are at least 5 weeks of age - sometimes later.  With some, it gets extreme.  They back flip during all waking hours.  For these extreme cases, it is best to have a vet put them down.

The second is "pacing." Again, around here, this is a common Campbells disorder.  These hamsters run back and forth across one side of the cage.  Often, they only run back and forth across a few inch path.  They will often beat down the shavings in that area with their incessant pacing.  Again, this trait is undesirable, and these animals (and their relatives) should not be bred.

The third is "lap running." These hamsters run circles around the perimeter of the cage.  They too will beat a path into the shavings.  They and their relatives should be retired from breeding.

The fourth is "waltzing" hamsters.  This can appear in dwarves or Syrians.  Personally I have only seen it once, and it was in a dwarf which someone brought to a show.  This young hamster ran tight circles.  It could not walk a straight line.  Since these symptoms can also be caused by curable problems (like ear problems), these problems should be checked out by a vet.  If the vet does diagnose this condition, it is probably best to put down any animals with an extreme case.  Again, the parents, siblings, etc. should be taken out of breeding and all buyers of animals from this line must be notified.

The fifth is deviant behaviors.  In particular, a number of people have reported that their females have chewed the ears off of their pups and their cagemates.  This generally happens when the female is nursing a litter and can happen when the pups are very young.  We know that the missing ears are not a genetic defect both since the male's ears also tend to disappear at the same approximate time and we have sometimes seen the pups' ears before they disappear.  It is not a common problem, but I have seen it here on two occasions and heard of it from other breeders.  We separate the pair so that the female does not have further litters and do not breed further from the line.  The females seem to do fine once the litter is weaned, so this may be a stress associated with raising litters.  Another deviant behavior which may be similar in nature is parents chewing of the limbs of their pups.  We're not sure the cause, but this does happen occasionally.  In any case, these are undesireable behaviors which you would never want to perpetuate.

see.. told you they named it panda hamster. I saw it and i was like ---> O.o ????

my hamster will sometimes walk on his hind legs, then when cant support anymore, will fall on his back. its normal right?

may be not biasa with new owner,so little bit scare, who know??
bcoz some of my hamster did that...tame with me..but sometime with other not tame
i think its related to our hand smell
may be they recognized their owner smell only la

hmm..i need to know this..I just got myself a kitten.And ive been making sure that my hammies are far far away from my kitten.My kitten isn feeling that well yet due to new environment. I was told that hamsters are not very protected (health) compared to cats/dogs. They dont need injections or watsoever unlike cats/dogs. Is this true??I was also told not to get to attached to hamsters ,i mean putting them close to our face ,because they maybe healthy but they are still a rat species...so,i guess i cant really let my hamsters run free now..because i dont want them to spread sickness to my new kitten...or i still can?
I need to know whether hamsters can cause sickness to us??
