Confusion??
Good Morning guys!
I just have a quick question. I bought the most adorable female dwarf hamster yesterday and I am unsure of what type she is. She is a mix of grey, white, and a tiny bit of tan. Her under bottom is all grey with a strip of white. And her feet are white! Hence her name: Socks. Could she be a winter white?
I was just wondering if anyone could help me out here! I truly appreciate the information!

The Campbells and Winter Whites almost look the same in my opinion, the only difference I ever noticed is their noses seem a bit more rounded off like the dwarf roborovski. I think it would be hard to know unless we saw a picture...
Sorry I couldnt tell you more.

Interesting - could you post a picture for us to see?
WWs have a different body/head shape to Campbells, although hybrids are rife in petshops especially in the USA from what I can tell.
I can think of a couple of options colour-wise - a photo would be good.

It really is hard to see, and as for what actual colour she is (Blue, Dove, Lilac etc.) I would hate to hazard a guess from the picture sorry. What colour are her eyes? If you get a chance to get any more photographs please post them, I am quite curious to get to see what colour she really is.
