The Last Common Hamsters

Way of Life

Common hamsters are known for their distinctive fur coloring, their food hoarding, and their burrows. But there are many more interesting aspects about their way of life.

Endangerment

Various aspects of modern agriculture and the loss of habitats due to construction projects are among major threats to Common hamsters.

Protection

There are many ways to reconcile human land use with species conservation and actively protect the European hamster from extinction.

We create awareness about the Common hamster

Here you can find many texts, photos and videos about the way of life, endangerment and protection of the field hamster.
