The Campbell dwarf hamster is a small rodent native to the arid regions around the Altai Mountains, the geographical center of Asia. Author Stefan Kräh provides numerous tips on keeping these active little creatures as pets in his book and reveals what to consider when acquiring, housing, and socializing the animals. For instance, did you know that contrary to popular belief, all species of hamsters do not strictly live solitary lives? It is indeed possible to keep Campbell dwarf hamsters in pairs and groups. Studies show that dwarf hamsters possess a pronounced social behavior that they cannot display when kept alone. This book is aimed at both newcomers and seasoned professionals and seeks to dispel some misconceptions about the Campbell dwarf hamster as a low-maintenance loner while providing insight into their care.
