Question
how many hours a day do hamsters sleep

Answer
Hi Malinda, this really depends on the hamster, but as they are nocturnal as a breed they generally sleep all day, mine are usually up in the morning still sleep on and off during the day and are awake early evening. they will usually get up during the day to eat and drink or go to the loo. Hope this helps, jen
