Winter Whites

|
These hamsters look very similar to Campbells but
in fact they are smaller and their colouring is different. Winter
Whites tend to be a dark grey colour, whereas Campbells are often brown -
having said that, you can get black eyed white and platinum Campbells.
They can live in pairs of the same sex from the same family. |

Despite their resemblance to Campbells, they are
less territorial, friendlier and easier to handle. Never mate a Winter
White with a Campbell as the Winter White female is likely to encounter
difficulties during the birthing process as her babies will probably be too
large for her to give birth to. |

They do not have a history of diabetes as
Campbells do. Their diet and housing requirements are, however, much the same
as Campbells. |
