Want this question answered?
there is a big difference between them as syrian hamsters are bigger than dwarf hamsters. There is quite a lot of different types of dwarf hamsters such as, Russian winter whites, Chinese, campbells, rovoroski and maybe more. But most dwarf hamsters can live with 1 or more of the same sex and syrians have to live alone - so if your hamster lives alone then its probably a syrian. aslo syrians are about half the size of a guineapig and dwarf hamsters are about half the size of a syrian hamster.
No Roborovski hamsters live longer.(Robo sounds like robot so it figures.)
Teddy bear hamsters live 3-5 years. Dwarf hamsters and Roborovski hamsters typically live 1-2 years with a maximum of 3 years.
No, in fact, they are meant to live in pairs.
Most of the time, i have 2 Chinese dwarf hamsters kept in the same cage and they are fine, Hope This Helps
Actually, there are several types of hamsters. They go in two groups, dwarf and syrian. The panda hamster is actually just a syrian with a coat that looks kinda like a panda bear. In the dwarf group, there are several types, such as roborovski, campbells, chinese, and russian. The syrians HAVE to live alone, whereas the dwarf can live in small groups.
About the same time that dwarf hamsters live
Of course. Chinese Dwarf Hamsters and Roborovski Dwarf Hamsters can be put in groups of the same gender/breed. Ex: Male Chinese Dwarf + Male Chinese Dwarf Female Roborovski Dwarf + Female Chinese Dwarf
No. They will fight and kill. You could put two Roborovski, Winter White, or Djungarian dwarf hamsters together though.
No Syrian hamsters are very Territorial and they like to live on there own but dwarf hamsters like to live in groups or pairs otherwise they would get too lonely.
Yes. They live for either 2 or 3 and a half years.
