Question Trying to determine if he’s a Winter white

I got a hamster from a coworkers friend who could no longer keep him and she said he’s a winter white but I cannot tell. If anyone can help me determine it would help a lot!

I'm not an expert but someone here will answer your question. All i can say is that he is absolutely gorgeous! A dark dwarf who looks like he is wearing white socks. Lovely!
What's his name?

I don't think he may be a winter white. I'm no expert though. What season is it near you right now. Most winter whites are grey during the warmer months. He looks completely black. He is really cute though.

Black is not a colour of a pure winter white, so he isn't a winter white

He is most likely a hybrid, also known as "Russian", hamster which is a mix of Campbells and Winter Whites. Black is a Campbells colour.

Congratulations on your new addition! He's very sweet.

He is absolutely beautiful! I agree, since most dwarf hamsters are hybrids the black is most likely from the Campbells genes in him. He is lovely!
