None of them do.

Answer 2

idk, but my hamster, she's old, and I think she has a cataract in her eye cause she doesn't notice things in that one eye. and she has a white lookin spot in that one eye.

Answer 3

It's hard to keep a hamster still but usually, they have a pressure spot. When you pet/stroke that spot, they enjoy it so much that they stop moving to enjoy it instead. My old hamster's was in between his ears. :p I remember oh so vividly how it would stop him every time.

Sorry but I don't know what breed that hamster is though. XD Are you sure it isn't a guinea pig? I've never seen a black and white hamster. :p

Answer 4

hamsters move like almost non stop until they sleep.

Answer 5

Hamsters are like that.  They like to wander all around.  They really enjoy their freedom and that's why I don't think they enjoy being caged and aren't great pets usually.  They haven't really been domesticated that long in the big picture.

Answer 6

Hamsters are very active creatures.  They like to run around.  They only calm down when they are sleepy or sleeping.

Answer 7

He's happy to be out of his cage =D

That's totally normal

Answer 8

The only kind of black and white hamster is either a Dalmation or Panda, Pandas are more common than dalmations though.

Answer 9

maybe its very shy or its scared.

Answer 10

High strung,,,,,,,, all are. get a Ginny pig they are calmer....

Answer 11

hey hamsters are supposed to be moving around all of the time. if you take it out of the cage to hold it, it wants to run around because it has been trapped in a cage most of the day. this is totally normal!
