There are different species of dwarf hamsters; the most common being Campbell's Dwarf Hamsters, Chinese Dwarf Hamsters, Roborovski's Dwarf Hamsters, and Winter White Russian Dwarf Hamsters.

Unlike Syrian hamsters, you can typically house more than one dwarf hamster in the same cage; just make sure that you have ample room for the hamsters to be able to get away from each other if need be. Remember that it's best to keep same sex pairs, and to watch out for bullying amongst males. If you want to house 2 males, it's best to get brothers, as by introducing male hamsters at different times, you may run into territoriality and bullying.

Dwarf hamsters are still hamsters, and they can be cannibalistic, which is why it's best to get brother and sister pairs (2 males or 2 females). You'd hate for your child to go in and feed or check on the hamsters to find that he's missing one, much less see a bloody mess.

When picking out a dwarf hamster, you may want to check out thie guide/ comparison, as some dwarf hamsters are more handlible than others and some are larger or smaller than others.

Cute Pictures of Hamsters

May 21st 2008 14:02

Ok, so this one isn't so much advice and tips, but just fun and cute pictures of Syrian Hamsters, also known as the Teddy Bear Hamster. A little background is that no matter what color pattern or price you pay for your "fancy" hamster, it's nothing more than a regular Teddy Bear Hamster.

Syrian hamsters come in a variety of colors and color patterns. Some of the common color patterns include panda bear, tortishell, black bear, albino, cinnamon, calico, cream banded, cream, rex, gray, Dalmatian, and golden hamster (the typical coloration of most Syrian hamsters).

Hamsters, also, come in long and short hair varieties. Although, normally hamsters require no grooming from the owner, the long hair variety needs to be combed at least once a day to prevent tangles, as they will pull on the hamster's skin and become very uncomfortable, even painful. Tangles usually don't occur unless there is improper grooming schedules or the bedding you use; if you notice a tangle in your long hair hamster, use sharp scissors and cut it out.

Below you'll find some cute hamsters varying in color pattern.
