Generally speaking, Jamaican hamsters are quite docile. They don't like to make noise or fight. Their main job is to find food and store it in the burrow. They are happy to relax.

Although Jamaican hamsters are docile in nature, their numbers have grown rapidly because humans have eliminated their natural enemies. It eventually threatened the normal life of human beings and was hunted in large numbers, leading to extinction, so it is no longer possible to raise Jamaican hamsters.
