an odd intrusion of politics into toydom, the popular (Teddy) Bear owes its name to some mildly controversial incident involving Theodore (Teddy) Roosevelt on a hunting trip in, I believe Minnesota. Teddy Roosevelt, was, of course an ardent hunter and conservationist- making a big pitch for the National Parks, and somehow the toy bear was linked with our 26Th President. The rest is history. Teddy and other toy bears have been made by the Steiff concern in Germany but also many other locales. They have slumped ( hibernated?) somewhat in recent decades with competition from talking and other animal figures such as Bugs Bunny, et al. Nonetheless they still can be found.

Does the black teddy bear hamster make a good pet?

Teddy Bear Hamsters make wonderful pets, I had a teddy bear hamster and they are the sweetest animals in the world! But each hamster is different and they require being handled daily, clean their cage once a week, change their water and food daily. Keep in mind hamsters are very fragile, even Teddy Bear Hamsters. If this is your first hamster please research it further before getting one and if you choose to get one you must accept the responsibility and take care of it properly.
