Dwarf hamsters are closely related to the common Syrian Golden hamster. The main difference between the two is the color variation, and the size; dwarf hamsters much smaller than a common hamster and only reach about 4 or 5 inches in length.
Most dwarf hamsters on the market are grey, but there is actually a variety of colors (red, blonde, white, cinnamon and much more; each is a specific mutation, and some are more rare than others). They live about 2 or 3 years, on average. They can be quite gentle and loveable when hand raised, and don't mind being held.
