AI overview

Hamsters are small rodents belonging to a subfamily that includes 19 species across seven different genera, with the Syrian hamster being the most recognizable and commonly kept as a pet. They matter because they have become established as popular small pets, with several species—including dwarf hamsters and the Chinese hamster—commonly kept in homes alongside the more familiar Syrian hamster.
