Tips for Naming Your Hamster
A good hamster name is one that is easy to pronounce. Your hamster can recognize its name and even respond by coming to you. Hamsters are not long-lived (usually, 2 to 3 years is the max), but this might be your child's first pet and will be a long-lasting memory. When it comes to thinking about names, take cues from its appearance, one of its personality quirks, or a pop culture reference that makes you think of your pet. If the pet belongs to your child, you could also let them come up with some fun, cute ideas (remember, you'll have only to hear the name for a couple of years if they grow out of it!), or give them a choice of two or three options you decide on ahead of time and let them choose for themself!
