Russian Dwarf Hamster (Campbell's) FEMALE

The Campbell's Russian Dwarf Hamster, scientifically known as Phodopus campbelli, is a charming and energetic companion animal. Originating from the steppes and semi-desert regions of Central Asia, including parts of Russia, Mongolia, and Northern China, these small mammals thrive in terrestrial habitats. Their natural environment is characterized by dry, open spaces with sparse vegetation, making them well-suited for life in captivity with the right setup.

Known for their curious and social nature, Campbell's Russian Dwarf Hamsters are generally friendly and can be handled with care. They are most active during the evening and night, displaying playful behavior that can be a joy to observe. In captivity, they require a well-ventilated enclosure with ample space to explore, burrow, and exercise. A temperature range of 65-75°F (18-24°C) is ideal, with no specific humidity or UVB lighting requirements. Providing a variety of toys, tunnels, and a wheel will help keep them mentally and physically stimulated.

These hamsters have a moderate growth rate, reaching an adult size of about 3-4 inches in length. With proper care, they can live up to 2-3 years in captivity. Basic husbandry includes a diet of high-quality hamster pellets, fresh vegetables, and occasional treats. Regular cleaning of their enclosure and monitoring their health will ensure a happy and healthy life for your Campbell's Russian Dwarf Hamster.
