It is really hard to come by the Chinese Dwarf Hamster as the purchase of this specie of hamsters is highly regulated in the U.S. These Chinese and Mongolian natives are desert creatures, and difficult to nurture when away from their habitat.

Their name is actually as misnomer as they constitute the rat-like hamster specie. The Chinese Dwarf Hamster has mousey features. A lengthy tail and body that measures around ten centimeters and their characteristic gray overcoat with a single black stripe, and white bellies. They can also have spotted fur or can be completely white with just a black eye.

Female Chinese Dwarf Hamsters are often feared by their male counterparts. In the struggle for dominancy, the male often ends up severely hurt or dead. Better to have a pair of just girls or boys instead.

But regardless of the sex, one Chinese Dwarf Hamster will always try to dominate the other, so it is wise to give them as much space apart as possible. The best choice of housing for them would be plastic tanks or aquariums. Cage bars just tempt them to get away. It is not rare to see the Chinese Dwarf Hamsters trapped between cage wires. It is also not a pretty sight.

The Chinese Dwarf Hamster eats just like all other hamsters, who love to feast on fruits and veggies, as wells as seeds and breads. On special occasions, treat your Chinese Dwarf Hamster to crickets and mealworms. Don't forget to give them a steady supply of fresh water in a bottle as well.

Expect your Chinese Dwarf Hamster to live for two to three years. Keep them under tight watch and do not expect kids below twelve to be able to handle them. These hamsters are very talented in climbing up walls, getting out of tight spaces, running away and disappearing. Glass tanks and aquariums are the best choice of cages for them as they are experts with getting out of wire cages.
