Dwarf Hamsters

Chinese Hamster

Cricetulus griseus

The Chinese Hamster is a delightful creature, with the endearing habit of clinging to its handler’s fingers like a harvest mouse. They are packed full of personality, and are very intelligent. They make fabulous pets.

Roborovski Hamster

Heather Carol

Phodopus roborovski

The Roborovski Hamster is a very attractive, very tiny bundle of energy. They are the smallest species of hamster, and are best kept as a pet to watch rather than to handle. They rarely bite, and can be tamed, but are very wriggly. The sight of a group of Roborovski Hamsters racing around their toys is captivating.
