Are Hamsters stupid?

Answers:
There is no such thing as a living thing that is stupid. Everything that is alive have the necessary intelligence for surviving in its nature. A hamster may appear less intelligent next to a dog, but they are solitary animals that do not aim to please. The most common misconception is that because hamsters are so self-involved, they cannot be taught anything, and that's actually true! If you want somethign that you can interact with and even train, get a social animal (such as a mouse or rats). Hamsters are much rather enjoyed by people who don't expect "intelligent" things from them.

Most defintely not, unfortunely. My hamster is always figuring out new ways to escape his cage. At this point, it is duct taped shut and has a large dictionary on top to keep him from escaping..

Of course not!! My hamster Scratch can climb up the stairs in my house. My other hamster Minnie can ride the wheel when she's on the other side of it(like on the outside).

NO, to my surprise when I got a hamster I was surprised at how smart they were. My hamster loved to chase peoples feet. lol.

They're rodents. They're not einsteins and very few will ever learn to read, but they have evolved to be extremely tenatious and clever when it comes to escaping and finding food.

no they are great escape artists. but they are small animals hence they have a small brain, and a small heart, which is why they die easily of a heart attack if frightened.
