I just got a Dalmatian dwarf hamster. What kind is he?

Question

I just got a Dalmatian dwarf hamster. I know there are different kinds of dwarf hamsters like Campbell, Chinese, and Roborovski dwarf hamsters. I was just wondering what kind a Dalmatian dwarf hamster is. Is he under a breed like Russians and Winter Whites are under the same breed... I think, correct me if I wrong please. I'd just like to know what breed he is. Thank You.

Answer 1

Campbell's - they're the only ones that come in a "dalmation" pattern.

As for the poster who suggested it's a Syrian, it's very easy to tell the difference between a dwarf and a Syrian. By "dalmation," I'm assuming it's a dark-colored mottled Campbell's.

Answer 3

Hi.

It seems that the people from pet shops don't know the hamster breeds. There is no such thing as Dalmatian dwarf hamster. In fact it is a  Black Dominant Spot Syrian Hamster. It looks like a tiny rabbit and is very cute. But it's not a dwarf hamster.

Depending on your hamster age, their size at adult age is:

-Dwarf Campbell's Russian Hamsters :4 inches (10 cm)-adult age average 4-5 weeks

-Roborovski Hamsters :couple of inches (4-5 cm)-adult age average 4-5 weeks

-Syrian hamsters 6-7 inches (15-17 cm)-adult age 5 weeks

-Dwarf Winter White Russian Hamsters 3.5 - 4 inches (8-10 cm)-adult age average 4-5 weeks

Good luck and have fun with your new hammy!
