{"product_id":"2940014020596","title":"The Easy Way To Care For Your Hamster They may be small, but these little guys are BIG on personality. Do you have what it takes to be a hamster pet parent?","description":"Background \u003cbr\u003eHamsters were first discovered in Syria, but they are native to many parts of the world. The name they go by today is derived from the German word \"hamstern,\" which means \"hoard\"--because that is exactly what they do with any extra food they might find. Although their downright cuteness makes them popular with prospective pet parents, these animals have some special requirements that must be met in order for them to be happy and healthy. \u003cbr\u003eThe most common pet hamster is the six-inch Syrian, also known as the golden hamster or teddy bear hamster. Syrians have a lifespan of two to three years. Dwarf species such as the Siberian, Roborovsky's Djungarian, and Chinese are smaller than Syrians, at about two to three inches. They have an average lifespan of one to two years.","brand":"unique5stardeals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145854107888,"sku":"2940014020596","price":4.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014020596_p0.jpg?v=1763599089","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014020596","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
