A "teddy bear hamster" is a variety of the Syrian Golden Hamster, noted for a thick, long-haired coat. The colors are generally brown and tan with white markings, but some have black fur with white markings.
These hamsters have similar life cycles to other common hamsters. They are totally dependent on the mother for about 3 weeks after they are born, and can be kept in the company of their littermates (same gender) for about another 3 weeks. By this time they will be approaching adulthood. By two or three months of age, they are adults and capable of breeding. (They should be bred by 6 months if this is intended, because older hamsters can have difficulty with first matings after the age of 6 months.) Female hamsters have a gestation (pregnancy) period of just 16 to 18 days! Litters of 6 to 10 are common, although there can be more than a dozen pups.
They are generally best kept in separate cages, or with at most one or two other hamsters. Their life span is about two to three years.
