Do hamsters hibernate?
Sort of. Technically it’s not hibernation, but they will slow down their body functions (they become “torpid”) if the room temperature of the room they are in gets unusually low, but shouldn’t just go into hibernation because it’s the winter season. If your hamster reaches this state, be sure not to disturb them. Let them come out of it naturally. Golden hamsters become sluggish at 59F and torpid at 50F. Dwarf hamsters are less active at low temperatures.
