Description

"Wait, do I have anything on my face?"


Currently the smallest hamsters in the world.

These guys are really fast and they can jump almost a foot straight up. They never bite though.

These are whitefaced Roborovskis. They only come in one other color, agouti. They are working on a platinum (white), but I've never seen one for sale.

*EDIT*

Question: "They really don't bite?!"

Answer:

I've handled hundreds of them and never had a nibble. I've also worked with people that have handled just as many and had the same experience.
I've also seen little kids pick these guys up over and over, no bites.
That being said, anything with a mouth *can* bite and they do have teeth... so, take that for what it's worth.

Even I *can* bite.

I've never seen/heard of these kind of hamsters before. They're so cute.
