Hamsters and gerbils are small rodents commonly kept as pets. They are known for their furry bodies, short tails, and cheek pouches used for storing food. Hamsters are nocturnal animals that are often solitary in nature, while gerbils are diurnal and prefer to live in pairs or groups. Both species require a proper diet, exercise, and enrichment to thrive in captivity.
