Hamster sleep: All you need to know about hamster sleep This is why hamsters do their food foraging at night, and then sleep during the day. The food that they gather at night is often stored, so that they can eat at any time. Hamsters do wake up at times during the day, to take on food and water, and satisfy their high metabolism, but they often go straight back to sleep. Interestingly, while it’s true that hamsters are most active at night, they are not “nocturnal”.

Life cycle of the Koala Another amazing thing about the life of a joey Koala: When the joey is about 6-7 months old it is ready to begin weaning from milk to gumleaves. To do this, the mother Koala passes on to the joey, the micro-organisms in her stomach that are necessary to make the digestion of gumleaves possible. She does this by producing a substance called ‘pap’ which is a specialised form of faeces (or koala poo).

Koala Koalas can live around 10-15 years, and they have only a few natural predators, including dingoes, large owls, eagles, and goannas, which generally only target juveniles. The IUCN Red List classifies the koala as a species of least concern. However, they face several threats to their survival. Motor vehicle accidents and dogs are major causes of death for koalas, along with disease. The largest threat they face, however, is loss of habitat caused by land clearing/development, bushfires, and eucalyptus tree dieback.
