The commonest pet hamster is the Syrian or Golden hamster, Mesocricetus auratus.
The two most popular types of hamsters commonly kept as pets are the Syrian hamster (also known as the golden hamster) and the dwarf hamster (which includes various species like Russian Campbell dwarf, Roborovski, and Chinese hamsters). These two types are popular due to their small size, cute appearance, and relatively easy care requirements.
if the hamster has long har all over the body quite (scruffy looking) then its proberly a russan hamster or if its a small long haired its a russan dwaf if it has short har quite normal sized then its a syririan hamster if its got shortish har (not very long) then its a average chinesse dwaf hamster if its not any of these then i could be a roboroviski dwaf hamster these are quite speedy hard to handle then its one of them hamsters come in differant sizes breed and color my guess if its a syrian hamster if you are not satisfied with this awnser then check the web site at pets at home look at the small pets part and at the left hand side and click pets at store i hope this has gave you the awnser from annomous hamster owner Excuse me for writing this on this.

Syrian Hamsters have pouches, it does not matter how long their fur is.
Around 2-3 years, sometimes 4 if it's looked after extremely well
a syrian dwarf hamester is smaller and a normal syrian hamster is beigger.
Syrian Hamsters can live between 1 and around 3 years, of course this varies between diet, environment, the amount of space it has and the amount of time is it held and cared for. If a hamster is treated correctly it will live to around the maximum 3 years.
No. There is a notable size distinction between the Syrian Hamster (5-7" long) and the dwarf hamsters (Chinese, Russian, Roborovski), which are rarely longer than 4".
