Types of Hamsters

January 21st 2011 00:39
Most people think of the cute, teddy bear hamster when they think of pet hamsters, but that isn't the only species of hamsters that is available as pets. Whether you go to a pet store (which isn't ideal when actually buying pets, only for supplies) or you find a breeder, you'll find out that there are more species than you may have realized.

* Syrian hamster, which is your common teddy bear hamster
* Roborovski hamster, a medium sized hamster, so to speak
* Campbell's hamster, which is one of the dwarf species
* Winter White hamster, which is another dwarf species
* Chinese hamster, a third dwarf hamster

* European hamster, which isn't a common pet hamster species

Each different hamster has it's own temperament traits.

Common Hamster Species

Make sure that you do all of your research before choosing which hamster that you want to have as your own pet.

The Roborovski hamster (phodopus roborovkii) is MUCH smaller than a properly bred winter white or Campbells Russian hamster and is certainly not a medium sized ham. Teddy bear is the term erroneously given to long haired Syrian hamsters.
Chinese hamsters, whilst being a dwarf species are not related to the other three dwarf hamsters.
I hope this helps.
