A small hamster species with a gregarious demeanor is the winter white dwarf hamster, sometimes referred to as the Russian dwarf hamster. Although they can be challenging to hold because to their small size and agility, they are often gentle as pets and respond well to handling. They are around half as big as the Syrian hamster, another common pet.
Winter white dwarf hamsters' coats are actually grayish-brown for the majority of the year. However, it turns white in the winter to blend in with the snow. If the hamster is not exposed to the reduced winter light patterns while in captivity, the coat may not change colors. These hamsters are often simple to take care of as pets because they only need a simple diet and housing arrangement.
Winter white dwarf hamsters weigh between 1 and 2 ounces and are typically 3 to 4 inches long. Around two months old, they reach maturity.
Even for people who are unfamiliar with hamster care, winter white dwarf hamsters can make wonderful and comparatively low-maintenance pets. They are often friendly and less likely to bite than some other hamster species since they are more tolerant of handling. They may still bite, though, if startled or pressured. Additionally, some people, especially young children, could find them to be too little and rapid to handle in a safe and kind manner.
Although these hamsters are nocturnal, they may occasionally be active during the day. Although they are mostly peaceful pets, if you put their enclosure close to your bed, their midnight activity may keep some people awake.
