Winter White Russian hamsters are well known for changing their coat in winter. As the name suggests, they go white in winter (it's used as camouflage against the snow in the wild) and during summer they go brown (to blend in with their background after the snow has melted).
i dont know my hamster has just started getting dark colour fur on his body and i dont know whats wrong with him this didn't happen with my other hamster she either got samonellis or she froze to death. : (
There are five main species of hamsters commonly kept as pets: Syrian, Campbell's dwarf, winter white dwarf, Roborovski dwarf, and Chinese hamsters. Each species has its own unique characteristics in terms of size, temperament, and care requirements.
There is no difference. Pet shops give them fancy names to make them sound special/exclusive, it makes people pay more. There are 3 kinds of dwarf hamster. Roborovski dwarf Winter white Russian Campbell There is also a Chinese Dwarf Hamster but they are not a true dwarf hamster (genetically speaking) I'd advise you to go to a hamster breeder, they know more what they are doing, or even better, a rescue. Good luck.
In the wild they hibernate by sleeping in the winter. But as a pet, hamsters do not hibernate as they should be warm all winter because they should live indoors.
Yes, Petsmart stores do sell the Winter White hamsters. They are active at night and cost around $12 per hamster. They are recommended as pets for children over the age of 10.
Nothing really occurs if a person purchases a third winter coat. The only thing that will change is the extra coat the person has.
He is tail brown because hamsters come in many different colours. It is okay so do not worry.
The actuall patern would not change, but in winter it would have a thick coat, autumn losing the coat, summer normal coat (thin), spring, begining to grow the thicker coat again.
No. Siberian tigers, as with all tiger subspecies, do not change coat color.
they grow a thicker coat during the winter because its so cold then loss it in the summer so they don't over heat
They shed there summer coat off and grow a snow-white coat. This helps them camouflage when predator are near.
All hamsters are nocturnal.
Hamsters can swim. They will drown if they do though.

well in the winter a squirrel's coat changes from brown to white in the summer it's coat changes again from white to brown.
If the horse is exposed to the colder weather, his body knows that it is time to grow a winter coat. However if he is blanketed and/or stalled, he will not be exposed to the weather, or not exposed very much, and therefore won't grow a very good winter coat because he has no reason to.Normally the change of seasons, but a winter coats keeps them warm and cozy during winter!!!
It was about $28.00 for a woman's winter coat.
