What is the Dwarf Siberian Hamster Lifespan?
The dwarf Siberian hamster is also known as the Russian white hamster. During the winter months, its fur turns nearly all white, allowing the hamster to camouflage itself. The Siberian hamster was originally trapped for use in a research laboratory in Omsk near Siberia, Russia. The dwarf Siberian hamster became popular as a pet in the 1970s. With good care, your dwarf Siberian hamster can live to 2 years old; some may live a bit longer.
