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.
