hmmmmmmmmm.......................................Originally posted by the Bear:Hmm.. thought they were the most common dwarf hamsters around?
They're cute but they have very varied personalitiesI had 2 but one passed on recently
The one that passed on was very naughty and eats a lot... it runs around (although it hates the wheel) and eats a LOTand it's not just keeping and hiding things, he ate a lot! And therefore was obese... it's playful and likes to "fight" with things like straws and coffee-stirrers.
The other is more quiet and hides itself a lot although some treats will lure it out. It mostly sleeps and gathers the shavings to make its little house more comfy. Doesn't do much.
They're cute.. but you will have to train them slowly to get used to human handling. Be prepared to shed some blood as they will bite when frightened.
they sure bite if u mishandling them, so far the hamsters i have are since their birth and i have been handling them a lot so they dun really bite me and so far no blood shed from me.Originally posted by caramelgal:i have local and sapphire hamster before but i've never had a russian campbell dwarf before, according to ur experience, do they bite? are they to they lazy side or energetic side? friendly or not?
They sure are if they are red eyes, cos thats the original campbell main feature, for mine, they are actually mixed breeds of "Black Bear"; "Albino"; "Algenta" and not to forget the original campbell so, its a mixed breed.Originally posted by the Bear:Hmm.. thought they were the most common dwarf hamsters around?

gee thanksOriginally posted by nights:oh i see, then prepare to foke out $25-$35 for the robovoski at the pet shops then....and good luck to u too.
by the way, robovoski is damn fast and very hard to handle even just for holding them. i suggest u get winter white which is more friendly and easiest to handle among the 3 types.

all breeds can be interbreed for dwarf but some are not recommend not say cannot mate.Originally posted by the Bear:Not too sure which breeds cannot be mated because half of the offspring will be born without eyes and will die after a few days...
So, do have a care when breeding hamsters
They are so cute when they are very young and small
Originally posted by nights:all breeds can be interbreed for dwarf but some are not recommend not say cannot mate.
all offspring are born with their eyes not fully develop yet but the mother hamster will take good care of them until their eyes are open and can run around looking for food on their own.
yup thats right! I have succesfully breed a Syrian with Campbell and produce a single normal hamster size campbell.Originally posted by the Bear:yah.. here's something i found...
The Ruby Eyed Mottled Dwarf Campbells Russian can produce deformed offspring when mated with another Ruby Eyed Mottled. The offspring are born with a cleft pallete, no teeth and often have no eyes. Due to the lack of teeth the offspring do not usually survive weaning.
so I guess should not breed some with genetic defect.. else the babies so poor thing
guess i m more of a breeder huh?Originally posted by elsonkoo:i sold for $1 before. cause i'm not a breeder juz trying 2 clear stocks.
