Question

How do i tell what kind of hamster i have?

Answer 1

Size is the main distinguisher of species.  Dwarf hamsters are tiny and tend to be aggressive.  Syrian hamsters are the usual larger type you see at pet stores... and there are several types or breeds, including golden, teddy bear, and panda bear (the difference is in color and hair).

Answer 2

Well...there are Teddy bear/golden hamsters and there are Dwarfs like Roborovski hamsters they are 4-5 meters long and a Chinese Dwarf is 11-12 meters long a Dwarf Cambell's Russian hamster is 10-12 meters long and a Dwarf winter white Russian is 8-10 meters long but the biggest is a Golden Hamster 15-20 meters long...there are Bluesberry (i have one) and the other hamster is have is  Siberian hamster wich they look alike all but the color the Blueberry is Grey-ish blue and the Siberian is black-ish grey if you want you can E-mail me a picture and i can tell you! :) Bye!

Answer 3

size. dwarf hamsters are smaller and faster and syrian (golden) hamsters are bigger, fatter, and slower. these are the basics. dwarfs can live with others maybe except chinese dwarf hamsters (they are the only ones with a visible small tail) and syrians don't like to live with others.

Answer 4

Go through the following website and compare your hamster with the ones in the pictures on the site -

That would help you tell what kind of hamster you have.

Answer 5

welll defently by size. Dwarf hamsters are very small

(about 2in.) Teddybear hamsters are very furry and large and usally kinda fat!!!! If it is not one of those then it is a Syran hamster, this kind of hamster is Mexican looking (lol) it has black and brown fur and is short haired!

If you meen male or female then just look under it and you can tell (trust me)< you can sooo tell if they are boys (ballz)
