For the past few generations (humans), Syrian hamsters have generally been kept as pets. But lately, hamster enthusiasts have begun to take care of dwarf hamsters. It is defined as one of four hamster species. This article gives an overview of each of the five species.
Syrian hamsters are from seeds Mesocricetus auratus.. This hamster is known by the names Black Bear Hamster, Teddy Bear Hamster, Panda Hamster, and Golden Hamster. Still, these are all the same species of Syrian hamsters. They are 3-4 inches long and come in long, short or hairless varieties. These hamsters are bred to be mostly tame. They are lonely animals and will fight each other (until they die), but in reality they seem to enjoy human interaction.
The first species of dwarf hamsters that are gaining popularity is the Chinese dwarf hamsters- Cricetulus barabensis griseus.. Among all hamsters, this looks like a mouse. It has a long nose, a long narrow body, and a prominent, easy-to-grip tail. Among the hamsters kept as pets, this is good at mountaineering. If you choose to keep this dwarf hamster as a pet, there are two things you need to know. First, we need to give this animal a lot of different places to hide-so-called “Hidey-holes”. Second, this dwarf hamster flattens and fits snugly in a small space.
The other three dwarf hamsters kept as pets are all members of the genus Fodopath, A word that means “padded feet”.The three species of this genus Phodopus sungorus, Phodopus Campbelli,and Phodopus Roborovskii..
Phodopus sungorus And Phodopus Campbelli Often confused. They are different species and their territories do not overlap in the wild, but both are commonly referred to as Russian hamsters and Djungarian hamsters. To avoid confusion, it is best to call it by scientific name.
Phodopus sungorus The nose is sharper Phodopus Campbelli.. In winter, when the cycle of sunlight is short, this species of animal can change its coat color to white to camouflage itself in the snow. Another difference between the two genera Phodopus sungorus Is a strictly nocturnal animal-arriving after dark and returning to sleep before dawn.
Phodopus Campbelli It has a profile that is often said to have the shape of a Roman nose.This kind of dwarf hamster spends time outside the nest Phodopus sungorus.. in addition, Phodopus Campbelli We are active from dusk to dawn.
The last dwarf hamster of the genus Fodopath is Phodopus Roborovskii, And it’s the smallest of all hamsters-measures at just about 2 inches (5 cm). This little creature is a very sociable animal and prefers to live in groups. If you’ve ever seen pictures of hamsters piled up like sardines, Phodopus Roborovskii.. This hamster is much faster than any other hamster and is difficult to catch and hold due to its size and energy level. As long as you keep this animal as a pet, the best advice is that it is intended to be monitored but not treated. If you have several of these animals (of course of the same sex) in the same cage, you can enjoy and play with their behavior. These creatures can slip out of the smallest space and are best housed in an aquarium.
