What Breeds of Hamster Are There?
Common pet hamsters include the Campbell's (three-line), Winter White (one-line), Roborovski, and Syrian (golden) hamsters. Campbell's types such as the silver fox and pudding are gentle and can be paired after introductions; Syrians are solitary and short-tempered, so house them alone. Choose purebreds to lower diabetes risk, give a roomy cage with a wheel, and feed a proper mix with treats in moderation.
