The Truth About The Teddy Bear
In 1902 President Theodore Roosevelt was in Mississippi to settle a dispute between Louisiana and Mississippi. While there President Roosevelt went on a hunting trip with some of his friends. It seemed that the President was having little success on this outing. Realizing that issue some of the members of the hunting party tied a small, black bear cub to a tree for him to shoot. President Roosevelt refused to shoot the bear.
Obviously when you are President everything you do is fair game for the media. Word got around fast about this escapade and the next day cartoonist, Clifford Berryman, drew a cartoon depicting Roosevelt refusing to shoot the bear.
A shop keeper (Morris Michtom) noticed the cartoon and was impressed. He asked his wife Rose to make a teddy bear to place in his shop window. Additionally he asked the President for permission to name the stuffed bear Teddy. The President agreed without hesitancy and the Teddy Bear was born.
About the same time a German company owned by Margarete Steiff, was also beginning to manufacture a stuffed bear. Steiff teddy bears are very collectible to this day.
The popularity of the teddy bear grew exponentially. Teddy bears are basic requirements for every small child and for the child in all of us. Toy manufacturers, teddy bear artists, and writers have discovered that teddy bears mean business for them. Few of us can resist the adorable creatures.
Gund is one of the predominant brands of teddy bears. When it comes to quality it is in the same league as The Vermont Teddy Bear Factory.
If you are inclined to do a search you will find that there are several websites designed to cater to the desires of teddy bear lovers and enthusiasts. From books to art and home decorations you will find teddy bear creations available.
As far as the teddy bears that we love to snuggle; they come in every possible shape, size, color, fabric, and price range imaginable. From very inexpensive to extremely high-priced, there is a teddy bear for every budget!
Teddy bears seem to have sweet dispositions and wonderful personalities. They can be unique and one-of-a-kind or created in volumes and still present themselves as if they were created just for you.
You can buy your new friend online or you can go to a mall or the flea market, either way you will be adding a treasure to your life. I am sure you will smile as I do when you look at your teddy bear and children will love him. Teddy bears really do make an ideal gift for almost anyone!

How to take care of a teddy bear hamster ?
I am going to get my teddy bear hamster at Pet Cetera and I have critter trail 2 as a cage and im wondering how do you know how young a hamster is and anyhting a teddy bear hamster need that normal hamsters dont need?
if its stuffed its easy but a real teddy neds:
Expected Life Span:
2.5 - 3 years.
Size:
Syrian hamsters usually about 6-7 inches (15-17 cm) in length.
Behavior and Temperament:
Syrian hamsters are nocturnal but may wake for short times during the day. They generally quite good-natured and easy to tame and handle. They have a reputation for being nippy, but that is usually due to lack of handling or trying to handle them during the day when they would rather be sleeping.
Social Characteristics:
Syrian hamsters are solitary and territorial. They should always be housed alone. They may tolerate other hamsters when they are young, but by the time they reach 8-10 weeks old, territorial fighting usually starts and may be fatal.
Appearance:
The natural coloration of syrian hamsters is golden brown (technically agouti, meaning the hairs are banded with darker and lighter colors), with a lighter belly. They also have a dark marking on the cheeks, extending from the jaw up toward the ear. Through selective breeding there are a number of variations in colors, patterns, and [link url=http://www.petwebsite.com/coat.htmcoat types[/link] seen.
Notes about Care:
Basic care is like that of other hamsters. I usually recommend avoiding modular plastic cages for Syrian hamsters due to concerns with ventilation, size, and ease of cleaning. A simple wire cage or aquarium is preferable. Feed a good quality hamster food supplemented with small amounts of fresh foods. See Hamster Care for more detail.
Additonal Notes:
This is the most common kind of hamster kept as pets.
