Animal Facts

Russian Dwarf Hamsters have bodies that are about 3 inches in length, with the males being slightly larger than females. They have two round ears and their tail is barely visible. Their dense fur comes in colors such as greyish-brown with white, albino, and other natural colors such as grey or brown.

Russian Dwarf Hamsters have become very popular pets since they were introduced as pets in 1970. They can be kept in pairs or groups, and are very social, though there still may be squabbles between the hamsters. They make little to no noise, and tend to entertain themselves in their cages. This breed of hamsters is very docile, calm, friendly, and less likely to bite than other breeds of hamsters. These adorable creatures make great pets for people all over the world, and should be interacted with as much as possible to keep them as friendly as they can be.
