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.
The Chinese Dwarf Hamster is actually a rat hamster. It looks like a rat with its long body, tail, gray fur and white belly. Their distinguishing features are that they can come with either a black strip on their spine, have polka dotted fur or all white fur and a blackened eye.
Contrary to the traditional role of Chinese women in the home, the female Chinese Dwarf Hamster wears the pants. Male Chinese Dwarf Hamsters often get killed by the females. The female Chinese Dwarf Hamster is a force to be reckoned with. So make sure you choose two females or two males 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.
Chinese Dwarf hamsters eat the way regular hamsters do. Typical meals consist of seeds, vegetables, sometimes even crickets or mealworms. Lots of fresh water is best too. Keep the fresh water in a water bottle instead of a water bowl. The latter often gets knocked over and spills on the substrate.
The Chinese Dwarf Hamsters, with their two to three year life spans, are extremely talented escape artists. The importance of having them in a sealed enclosure cannot be emphasized. They run very fast and can climb great heights. They are difficult to train as they are very aggressive. Having young children take care of them will only prove to be a futile exercise as they are much more suited to older pet owners.
