No, the name of the hamster is Russian Winter White Dwarf Hamster. They aren't actually born in Russia unless you get them imported from there or buy it directly from there.
I prefer winter white.
Snowy or Winter.
It is a winter hamster
If you buy a winter white (or siberian) dwarf hamster during the winter, it is white with a light gray stripe on its back. The color of a winter white dwarf hamster's coat depends on your hamster. You have to wait until spring or summer to see. :)
Yes, many dwarf hamsters are white even if it isn't winter - and it isn't just Russian Winter White Dwarf Hamster that may turn white in the winter. Some hamsters just are white.

You probably have a winter white dwarf hamster. In the winter, their fur is white. In the warmer seasons, it is brown or gray. Lucky you -- winter whites are adorable and sweet!

A pure white hamster isn't very easy to find, especially in pet stores. If you have a hamster breeder, it will be easier. If you want a white hamster, you should get a Winter White dwarf hamster. They turn pure white in the winter and are adorable. Occasional spots of white on a hamster isn't rare at all, though. It's very normal.
