The Turkish hamster (Mesocricetus brandti), also referred to as Brandt’s Hamster, The Azerbaijani Hamster, or Avurtlak, is a species of hamster native to Turkey, Armenia and other surrounding nations. The Turkish Hamster, first catalogued in 1878, is a fairly close relative of the Syrian Hamster and the Golden Hamster, though far less is known about it, and is rarely kept as a pet (some sources state that the hamster is not kept widely as a pet while others simply say that the hamster cannot be kept as a pet due to its aggressive nature).
