Well, the hamster should be very active and running around the cage they have at the pet store. If the hamster is in the corner or is in the igloo house, then that may not be the best choice. For example, the hamster could be on the hamster wheel, that's a good choice!
Well, to show you a picture, google petsmart.com and look at their rodents for sale. Just click '' small pet'' and it will bring them up. Then, look at Live pet and click on ''hamster''. It will bring up all the types of hamsters they sell. The first hamster you see on their hamster page should be the ''Russian Dwarf Hamster''. If you don't have a computer, or lap top, go to your local library and look for hamster books. They should have at least one book all about Russian Dwarf Hamsters for you. Still can't find them? Ask a different question about them [Russian Dwarf Hamsters]. Hope this helps.
They get really round and they look fat.
well when picking a hamster look for the more well boded hamster
First i would either get a book on basic hamster training(eg. food, taming , temperament,handling) or look it up on web. Then look for a suitable cage for a dwarf hamster (habitrail mini may be a good option). (i would assemble cage before getting hamster as you may find a problem with it). After finding a suitable place for it in your room and having bought in food and bedding you should be good to go. Hope i helped:)
No, absolutely not. You may think all hamsters look the same, and so are the same, that is completely wrong. Never let any other kind of hamster get near a different species.
When choosing a cage for a robo dwarf hamster, look for features like proper ventilation, secure locks, a solid bottom to prevent escape, and enough space for exercise and enrichment activities. Additionally, consider easy access for cleaning and a design that allows for customization with toys and accessories.
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.

First, look at the size of your hamster. If your hamster is 5-8 inches long, it might be SYRIAN/GOLDEN or TEDDY BEAR. If your hamster is 5-8 inches long and has longish hair, it is TEDDY BEAR. If the hair is short but light brown with various white and black marks, it is most likely SYRIAN. If your hamster is under 5 inches long, it is a DWARF HAMSTER. If your hamster is really small and has white eyebrows and is really fast and has light brown/gray fur, it is a ROBOROVSKI DWARF HAMSTER. If your hamster is under 5 inches long and has either gray or blonde with red or black eyes, it is most likely a RUSSIAN CAMPBELL'S or WINTER WHITE DWARF HAMSTER. If your hamster is under 5 inches long and has an abnormally long tail and looks mouse-like, it is a CHINESE DWARF HAMSTER. It's really hard to make sure, but these are just the basic characteristics of different types of hamsters. Hope it helped!
When choosing a cage for a Roborovski dwarf hamster, consider features like size, ventilation, material, and accessories. Opt for a spacious cage with good airflow, made of safe materials like plastic or glass. Look for a cage with multiple levels, tunnels, and exercise wheels to keep your hamster active and entertained.
