"On behalf of Expert Village, my name is Laura and I am here to tell you about dwarf hamsters. Hamsters are one of the most popular pets in the pet industry. They are really good especially for children as a first pet. Dwarf hamsters are particular really good because they can be taken care of in a very small place. Hamster cages are relatively small. They can be kept in smaller apartments or small houses. A lot of people who get hamsters don't have a lot of room and that is why they choose to go with a regular hamster or dwarf hamster. Dwarf hamsters are very small and they are about half the size of a regular hamster. Even full grown, they don't get over about 3 ounces. These hamsters are what are known as a Russian Dwarf. They are very small and they can live in a relatively small place. They have several babies at one time and they are very good at parenting. If you notice, they've dug a burrow in here for all of their babies to hide in and all three of these mamas are taking care of all the babies. Most hamsters are very family oriented. When you have 1 or 2, they do really well. If you have 3 or 4, they do even better."
