Russian dwarf hamster is one of the newest species of hamsters who have appeared over the past few years, and differ in size and character of the usual pets owned by millions of people.
Russian dwarf hamster is less than or Syrian golden hamsters kept in the usual way. Adult males reach only up to 8 cm. Hamsters in captivity lives best in pairs or small groups of same sex or different sexes.
Animalute dwarf hamsters are very "sound" and spend too much time beating themselves in play. If you hear a lot of chitaituri and beat, do not panic, this thing is normal to them. Not intervene in this behavior, otherwise they could see how they really beat.
There are three species of dwarf hamsters
- Russian dwarf hamster. It is the most widespread species of dwarf hamster met in captivity. They have a variety of colors: black hamster, beige satin spotted with stains, colored opal, bees, blue.
- Winter white dwarf hamster and Siberian hamster. Their fur white winter days taken to suit the environment you would find in the wild.
- Roborovski hamster. This is the third and the rarest species. It is the smallest of the species of hamsters and is currently available only in one color: brown - yellow, with conspicuous white belly.
A problem in possession of all these species is their size. Dwarf hamsters are able to slip through the bars cages for hamsters initially normal. So take care you buy a cage with bars very often. Habitats for this species match with several units, but only if vertical tunnels are equipped with stirrups.
A better idea of habitat may be an aquarium covered with mesh wire mesh often. The floor should be covered with a thick layer of sawdust or wood chips. The cage can put branches or twigs. He loves toilet paper rolls used as hiding places and wheels for movement.
Dwarf hamsters can be fed with a mixture of grain and seeds that add small amounts of nuts, sunflower seeds and biscuit for dogs. They eat small amounts of fruits and vegetables. Water is the most important part of the diet of a dwarf hamster.
If you cage a mixed pair to be aware that they will multiply. In this case you can choose one to ten baby hamster every month of the year. And every chick can begin to grow from 21-30 days. Gestation period is usually around 21 days but may vary and from 16 to 30 days.
At birth, pups are blind and hairless, but have teeth and whiskers. The fur appears to 6-8 days, eyes open in 14 days. Solid food will be accepted from 9 days, the age at which chicks start to wander around the cage. At 18-21 days they are independent and 30 days are fit for breeding. Life of a hamster is 24-36 months.
