Campbell’s dwarf hamsters (Phodopus campbelli) originate from Mongolia, northeast
China and southern Siberia but are nowadays bred worldwide and kept as pets. They are
usually more active during the day than the golden hamster which is equally
popular.
Adult Campbell’s hamster reach a body size of eight to ten centimetres. The small
rodents feed mainly on various plant seeds and occasionally on small insects. The
hamster in turn is preyed upon by raptors and steppe foxes.
