They use their other senses, such as smell and touch, to determine their surroundings more than they use their vision. Hamsters also cannot see color—they’re colorblind. That said, they can see white, gray, black, and extremely subtle blue and green tones. Fortunately, great vision and the ability to see color doesn’t dampen a hamster’s ability to thrive in life.
