@MikelDog Corn, python, boa, rat, milk, love dwarf hamsters.

[Nbaman82]

what kind of bedding is that

[DwarfHamsterLoveys]

@KendallMurray yes toilet paper works, and its for all species, I wouldnt recommend using magazines or newspaper though, as both of those have lots of ink and it might not be good for the hamster

[KendallMurray]

@DwarfHamsterLoveys Toilet paper works? What about newspaper or shreded magazines? And does that work for all species of hamsters?

[DwarfHamsterLoveys]

@GuardianHyperion18 yes, theyre both dwarf hamsters

@hammerthehamster NO! you should NEVER, EVER use any type of CEDAR or ASPEN wood shaving bedding! its harmful to dwarfs and can cause respiratory problems for the hamster! I would def NOT use it for newborns...who knows what it could do to them. you should use the soft regular bedding, or give them some toilet paper or paper towels to rip up and use as bedding..

@Javier32101 actually, you should NEVER, EVER use any type of CEDAR or ASPEN wood shaving bedding, its harmful to dwarfs and can cause respiratory problems for the hamster!

Campbell Russian Dwarf Hamsters have a thin dark gray stripe on the back 1 of the easiest features to distinguish a Campbell Russian Dwarf Hamster from other dwarf hamster is the color along the side tht separate the graybrown or lightgray on the bak and the white of the tummy Campbell Russian Dwarf Hamster have a lightbrown or lightgray color between the 2 color while other dwarf hamster like the Russian WinterWhite Hamster wil have a dark line

@ashleysavath the female goes into heat and thats when the male mates with her, if your dwarf had pups you should seperate the mom and dad for a while cause right after she gives birth she will go into heat again and the dad WILL mate with her, causing lots babies and its also not good for the mom, she needs rest inbetween litters. hope this helped?.

@MrsRazzberryGirl Chinese dwarf hamsters usually give birth to about 4 pups.

Roborovski dwarf hamsters usually give birth to about 6 pups.

Winter White dwarf hamsters usually give birth to about 4-6 pups.

Campbells dwarf hamsters usually give birth to about 8 pups.

Syrian hamsters "teddy bear or golden hamsters" the litter sizes are quite variable, but typically there are 5-10 pups per litter (litters of over 20 have been reported). Hope this helped!
