Hello and welcome to our site!

On this website, you will discover how house kept animals respond to being in their natural environment.  

For our science project we wanted to see how house kept animals respond to being in their natural environment. To do so, we recreated a hamsters environment, a desert. We took rocks, sand, food, and water and put them all in a large box. We also made slight changes to his diet, ex. fresh food that he would eat in the wild instead of his normal dried food. We recorded changes of his behaviour when he was put in the desert environment and then once again when he returned to his house kept cage.  He was in each habitat for three days and two nights. However, his wheel was transferred from one cage the other to keep him active and so that he could get his needed exercise.
