Wild European Hamsters (Cricetus Cricetus)

Hi all,

some pics from last September - I observe wild European Hamsters (Cricetus Cricetus) during the summer (they hibernate now). They are bigger than syrians - about as big as a small guinea pig. Enjoy!

So beautiful! I love their markings so much. It's such a shame they are so wild, if only they could be pets D:

Thank you all!

I'm sooo looking forward to next April/beginning of May when they come out of hibernation again. I really miss them.

Has there never been any attempts to domesticate that breed? Everything was wild once I am just curious as I have never seen these before
