Dwarf Hamster -
Phodopus sungorus
Djungarian hamster
(
Phodopus sungorus
), also known as the
Siberian hamster
or
Russian winter white dwarf hamster.
Order: Rodentia   Suborder: Myomorpha   Family: Cricetidae   Subfamily: Cricetinae   Genus: Phodopus
Geographic Range
The dwarf or Dzungarian hamster is found throughout China, Mongolia, Russia, and adjacent parts of Siberia and Manchuria.
Habitat
The dwarf hamster inhabits semi-arid areas. It usually prefers grassy plains, sand dunes, or wormwood steppes.
Physical Description
Mass: 23.40 g (average)
Coloration of dwarf hamsters ranges from gray to pinkish buff dorsally and whitish on the underparts (Nowak, 1991). Some individuals have a dark dorsal stripe. The ears are dark blackish, edged and lined with white. During the winter months the fur turns partly white. As a result of having been bred and sold as domestic pets, these hamsters have given rise to a number of mutations in coat color. Three color mutations are commonly recognized: albino, argente, and opal; and two pattern mutations, mottled and platinum.
The dwarf hamster has a rounded robust body and short broad feet, covered with thick fur throughout. They also have dark eyes, long whiskers, sharp claws, and cheek pouches. Head and body length is 7-10.5 cm while the tail length is 0.6-1.8cm. As in all rodents, one upper and one lower incisor are found on each side of the jaw. Canines and premolars are always absent, and there are no more than three lophodont cheek teeth on either side.
Reproduction
Gestation period: 20 days (average)
Birth Mass: 2 g (average) (0.07 oz)
Age at sexual or reproductive maturity (female): 120 days (average)
The dwarf hamster breeds from February to November. It is known to breed only once or occasionally twice a year in the wild, but it can breed more than that in captivity. In the wild, males and females meet only to copulate, then separate permanently. The gestation period is typically 20-22 days, but can be as short as 18-19 days. Litter size is usually between 5 and 12. The young are born blind and hairless, weighing approximately 1.4 grams. They are cared for by the mother alone, and they are weaned after a month or so. The young become sexually mature soon after weaning, or at a couple of months age, which helps to give this species an impressive capacity for reproduction.
Behavior
Dwarf hamsters are solitary animals, meeting only for breeding purposes. Nests are built in underground burrows using grass, wool, feathers, or other soft findings. Hamsters seem to be most active in the evening and early morning, but also sometimes throughout the night. While foraging, Phodopus sungorus fills its cheek pouches with small seeds and carries larger items like potatoes back to the burrow in its mouth. Food is either stored in the burrow for the winter, eaten on returning to the burrow, or eaten above ground in the shelter of an undisturbed spot. This pattern is very useful when food is abundant irregularly, as during winter months.
The dwarf hamster enters a shallow torpor during the winter months in its burrow, only waking on warmer days to eat food from its stores.
These animals are easy to tame and make nice pets for children.
Food Habits
The dwarf hamster is mainly herbivorous and granivorous. Normally it eats seeds and any available plant material. As the dwarf hamster forages, it pushes food into the huge cheek pouches, which enable it to carry large quantities of food to its underground quarters.
Pet Ownership
Dwarf Hamster are often found on the pet market, in Europe and Asia more so than in North America and indeed are rarely found in pet stores in Canada. Care is similar to that of the Campbell's Dwarf Hamster. Dwarf Hamster generally make excellent pets; however, a larger Syrian Hamster would be more suitable for younger children, as they can be handled more clumsily. Winter White hamsters which could have some Campbells ancestry should not be fed food containing sources of monosaccharides because of the risk of developing diabetes mellitus.
Dwarf Hamster are not sociable and won't live together peacefully unless they are siblings, but even then, the hamsters might fight fatally. It is advised to keep them single, as in wildlife each of them has a territory of 12km².
