The Russian Dwarf Hamster is a term that usually refers to several different types as well as the Winter White Russian Dwarf hamster, Campbell's Russian Dwarf hamster, and Roborovski's Dwarf hamster. The Russian Winter White's and Campbell's Russian dwarf hamsters could also be mistaken for just one breed due to their similar size of around 8 to 10 centimeters and their coloring. The Roborovski hamster is normally the smallest of these three hamsters and it normally only grows to around 4 to 5 centimeters.
Winter White dwarf hamsters can be a lot rarer than the Campbell's dwarf hamster at local pet stores. They are normally sold in pairs of the same sex and are very friendly. What is also so incredible about these little critters is their ability to change their color in the winter months. In their native home environment, Winter Whites (incredibly) change from their normal dark grey coloring to white in order to camouflage themselves and escape from predators in the snow.
