Yes, usually they can. In extreme cold they will go into hibernation. This is where the hamster stores up food and stays asleep until the cold period is over. If a hamster goes into hibernation it is very important not to try to wake them up.

What color is winter white at spring or summer?

If you buy a winter white (or siberian) dwarf hamster during the winter, it is white with a light gray stripe on its back. The color of a winter white dwarf hamster's coat depends on your hamster. You have to wait until spring or summer to see. :)


Why are raccoons and skunks not true hibernators?

Raccoons and skunks may be seen about during winter months. During the coldest and snowiest times they remain in their den and sleep. It is not a true hibernation, however, as they may arise during less severe days and forage for food.

What does this mean your hamster is sleeping a lot?

It's just the breed. All Hamsters need to sleep for a long time. I have a teddy bear hamster, and she is actually very active. Some hamsters though, do sleep a lot. They are nocturnal, so they sleep a lot during the day


Why does your hamster sleep so much?

Hamsters will eat what ever you give it so if you give it a whole lot of food it will eat it all most likely.so if your hamster seems overweight try giving it a little less food or ask a local pet shop ( Petco,Pet Smart, etc.)Hmmm, well I have a answer to that 1. Your hamster may be storing food somewhere you can't see and so well that is kind off bad because hoarding is the name of what your hamster may be doing what I did was I took the food bowl out for a hour and put it back it if this isn't your answer then 2. Gif your hamster looks normal say not it might weight less and your hamster might be eating more to gain weight and that's completely normal ( except for the underweight part, if your hamster looks underweight then you can use a food weighter to see how much it weighs ) well I hope this helps - darkskygamerr
