Does hamster activity change with the phases of the moon? Examples?

Yes, I believe hamster activity does change with the phases of the moon slightly. For emample, with rodents in the wild under the light of a full moon activity seems increased. Whether it's more light to see by or the moon's gentle tug of gravity on the water in a mammals body I could not say for sure. It could be due to other activities in the night that change during a full moon that cause the hamster's to change their behavior in response to that as oppossed to due to the moon directly. This is just my opinion. Insofar as hamsters as pets inside the home perhaps it is in the genes from their former wild counterparts that would cause increased activity.

Yes, the moon goes around the Earth at a much slower rate (28 days) than the Earth spins around once (24 hrs).\nClick on the link to the animation below. Notice how the Earth spins while the part of the moon facing us changes.

You can use this moon phase calculator...\nhttp://tycho.usno.navy.mil/vphase.html

As the Moon moves along its orbit around the Earth its hemisphere toward the sun is fully illuminated.\n\nBut from the Earth we see only the hemisphere that is turned toward us.\n\nThat is, we are not seeing that hemisphere which is fully illuminated by the Sun.\n\nThat is why we see different shapes which are called phases of the moon.\n\nIn new moon day, the moon is in between Sun and Earth, and the moon’s non illuminated hemisphere is toward Earth and in the back ground of Sun’s bright light, the moon is invisible.\n\nWhen Moon is at 90 degree from the Sun, half of the illuminated hemisphere of Moon is visible from Earth. \n \nWhen Moon is at 180 degree from the Sun, full of the illuminated hemisphere of Moon is visible from Earth. We call it as Full Moon.

Actually the moon does spin. Please try out the following links.

Well it's a natural phenomenon. If moon is not rotating then some thing else any where else in our solar system will do something to compensate for this energy.\n\nRemember : Energy can neither be created nor be destoyed and according to the energy conservation principle this energy will have to be redirected . So it can be millions of other possibilities :)\n\nLike days will be shorter ans earth rotates fast to use that excess energy or something like that.\n\n:)

I think would would see all phases of the Earth if you was on the moon. Just opposite from the way it is on Earth.

Beacause asit goes around the Earth it becomes closer and further away during its cycle.  The moon is in an oval orbit.\nhttp://stardate.org/nightsky/moon/

If the sun and the moon are both visible at the same time, then the first answer of course would be daytime.  However, for the moon to be visible during the day, it has to have risen somewhere in the 6 am - 6pm range.  this means that the moon can be in any phase from new moon through first quarter and almost to full moon.  So, the final answer to the question would be that when the sun and moon are both visible, it is called daytime during the first half of the lunar cycle.

when it is full moon, the lunar influences are strongest\nit is TRUE that human behaviour is affected,\nthe strongest effect is on people of zodiac cancer as their ruling planet is moon

Insects navigate by the moon.

I like to chat on the moon. It can get a bit chilly, but if you prepare in advance with a thermal suit, it is just fine. Also you can bounce really high while chatting.

The moon orbits the earth.  It does not 'rise'.  Look in any good newspaper to see what time it is visible in your area.  This information can be found in the weather section.

That's hard, not sure. Just to guess depending on the species, a bat would tell time from photosensitivity as an example. Most birds may tell time the same or according to temperature changes. Now i'm gonna guess stupid, but i think fish tell time due to gravitational forces of the tide according with the moon. Someone debated me on that one before and said "What if the moon isn't out?"  My response was that the moon is omnipresent orbiting the Earth; thing is, its simply in another hemisphere.  As I said, not sure, just guesses.  Perhaps physicist Steven Hawking thought about that at one point...lol.

They follow the lunar cycle.
