How big do Russian hamsters get?

Answer 1

They saw that European Hamsters get about the size of a small rabbit. I bought a "European Hamster" from a local pet store. He is getting bigger, but from the pictures he looks nothing like it. So Im sure they get the size of a small rabbit.

Answer 2

larger breeds can get 3-5 in long and sometimes longer. They should not be too fat. They should be fat enough that their body looks proportionate and not like they have a really fat belly. They should be able to lay down comfortable and curl up in a ball. Dwarfs are much smaller and can be from about 2-5 cm and sometimes a little bit bigger. their bellies size follows the same 'rules' as a larger hamster.. Hope that helped and wasnt confusing:/

Answer 3

The largest a dwarf can get is about 4 inches (adding wide and length).

Answer 4

Not very big, may I repeat, they are Russian 'dwarf' hamsters.

Answer 5

A: Adult Syrian hamsters are generally between 6 and 7 inches in length and adult Dwarf hamsters are between 3 and 5 inches in length.
