How many hamsters are left in the wild?

The exact number of hamsters left in the wild is difficult to determine, as it varies by species and region. Most wild hamsters, particularly the European hamster (Cricetus cricetus), are facing significant population declines due to habitat loss, agricultural practices, and other environmental pressures. Conservation efforts are underway to protect their habitats, but quantifying their populations accurately remains a challenge. Overall, many wild hamster species are considered vulnerable or endangered.
