 |
Scientific Name: Phodopus campbelli
Size: 4 to 4.5 inches
Origin: Central Asia, including Mongolia, China, and northern Russia
Life Expectancy: 1 to 2 years, occasionally longer
Temperament: Like some other dwarf species of hamsters, the Campbell’s Russian is willing to live in same-sex pairs if the two are brought up together. It’s nocturnal, but may be active for brief periods throughout the day. Its small size makes it a common escapee and difficult to handle, especially for young children, but otherwise it tends to be a good-natured pet. It may bite if not handled properly.
Varieties: Comes in a range of colors, from its original brownish-gray to gray, sandy, white, black, black with a white band, and more
