Many got trained at first but misteriously they started training themselfs so they became domestic
Yes, a domesticated hamster may survive in the wild, however, they may not survive for long. You see, domestic hamsters, or any domestic animal in that matter, do not have the necessary instincts and survival skills that they need in order to survive in the wild.
Hamsters are originally from South America After doing a report with my 2nd grade daughter we learned that it depends on the breed, but the come mostly from Asia. In particular Russia, China, Turkey and a lot of mention of Syria. The first domesticated hamsters were Syrian hamsters.
The domesticated hamster originates from Syria in the Middle East. They were first discovered in the 18th century and have been popular pets ever since.
Hamsters were first discovered in 1839 in the Syrian desert in the Middle East. They were thought to be extinct, but in 1930 a scientist in Syria found a nest with a female and 11 babies. Four hamsters lived and the first hamsters were brought to England in 1931 and to the United States in 1938. It was discovered that they made good pets and by 1950 there were 100,000 golden hamsters in the United States. Hamsters were living in relative obscurity until just 70 years ago, when a zoologist discovered a family of these rodents in the Syrian desert. Today, hamsters' friendly nature and adaptability have placed them among America's most popular small pets.

No. They're a domesticated species, therefore making them abundant. Even wild hamsters aren't endangered.

Hamsters are indigenous to the desert were they burrow and bathe in the sand. domesticated hamsters (such as pets) use wood shavings to substitute the sand as a burrow. Many pet stores carry sterile sand that is used to bathe the hamsters but many hamster owners such as my self just give their pet a bath in the tub with a little water. I Hope this Answers Your Question.
Hamsters are not considered pests. They are domesticated rodents that are commonly kept as pets due to their small size, ease of care, and cute appearance. In the wild, hamsters play a role in their ecosystems, such as helping to control insect populations.
There are around 25 hamster species in all including wild hamsters like the European Hamster. Domesticated there are Syrians and dwarves. There are 4 types of dwarves kept as pets, Winter Whites, Campbells, Robovorski, and Chinese hamsters.
According to California law, only the following rodents are not illegal: domesticated races of golden hamsters, dwarf hamsters, rats, mice, guinea pigs, chinchilla (Chinchilla laniger). However, in the list of illegal pets, they do not specifically mention porcupines.
Well, in the wild (yes these cute things exist in the wild), the do it at winter, like all other rodents. Usually domesticated hamsters don't hibernate, unless it is uber cold in your house at winter and you supply them with LOTS of food. But don't take my word for it. Google, anybody?
I'm sure that most domesticated animals are capable of biting humans. Many pets do - dogs, cats, rodents such as mice, rats, gerbils, hamsters and guinea pigs, tortoises, birds, horses, etc. Farm animals can too - a pig bite can be very nasty.
