How can you tell the difference between a teddy bear hamster Syrian hamster and Russian dwarf hamsters?

Answer 1

A teddy bear hamster is a type of syrian hamster and can be identified usually by their golden fur. Russian dwarf hamsters are much smaller than syrian hamsters so it is easy to tell them apart

Answer 2

Syrian hamsters are larger and grow up to 18cm-20cm. Dwarf hamsters are much smaller and grow up to 10/12cm. The Russian dwarfs have a dark stripe down their back.

And, Russians also live in packs unlike the Syrian teddy bear hamsters that only live solitary because they are territorial. Teddy(s) are also a lot more docile in my opinion, and are not as quick as Russians. Some Russian dwarfs come in other colors as well, like white. Also remember that there is no such thing as a "teddy bear hamster", that is a nickname for a syrian hamster. basically a syrian (teddy bear) hamster is like twice the size of a dwarf and they must always live on their own, unlike dwarfs which can live in pairs or groups

Answer 3

Dwarfs are smaller, cuter, softer, and more fun.
