Dwarf Hamsters are cute, tiny rodents that have only recently become popular with pet owners and differ from the more common Syrian hamster because of their small size.
They appeared in the commercial pet trade on a large scale in the mid-1990\'s and have since grown in.
They first appeared on the domestic small pet scene sometime around the early 1970\'s but were not common-place and had to be obtained from breeders.
On average, adult Dwarf Hamsters measure 9 centimetres or 4 inches in length.
