Venus likes to come out late and when its quiet and dark
Venus is a male chinese hamster, and is around 6 months old. He loves to burrow and explore his cage, and enjoys running on his wheel. He would rather be left to his own devices in his enclosure instead of being handled, but is very tame and docile when he needs to be picked up. He’s shy but has had a rough life before coming to the rescue, so he needs time to adjust and someone who will work with him or allow him to be how he is. He’s very sweet and just needs some time to settle and become used to people. Hamsters are crepuscular/nocturnal, which means they are generally asleep during the day and active during the night, so Venus enjoys coming out once the lights are out. This means you might not see him too often unless you stay up to watch him, but he’s fun to watch as he darts around his enclosure foraging for food or working on his burrows. Venus would make an adorable new member of your family and would love to find a home of his own!

Hamsters are crepuscular creatures. Like many other mammals, hamsters are more likely to be awake and active at dawn or dusk. This isn’t to say that some hamsters don’t ever stay awake all night. Much like humans, individual hamsters have their own sleep patterns. They aren’t all awake and playful at exactly the same time. This does mean you may not get quality time with them since most won't wake up until evening/night time.
