Mischievous Hamsters Deserve a Mischievous Name

Hamsters are naturally mischievous pets, so a name inspired by that aspect of their personality may be fitting. Hamsters are nocturnal, unlike us. There is no telling what these little fuzzy creatures get into after dark. More than once, I woke up in the morning to find that my hamster had escaped the cage! Either the little devil chewed through the cage, or it was entirely my fault for leaving the cage latch open. Luckily “Ted” gets hungry and comes out of hiding so I can place him back in his home. Here is a list of mischief-themed names based on personality traits and fictional characters. Give your hamster that mischievous name it deserves!
