Help me ID my hamster's species!

Hello everyone! I just "rescued" a "Djungarian Hamster" from a local pet shop. She looks alot like a winter white, but then sometimes I think she could be a Campbell's. They're so close I am not sure. Can someone help me ID what kind of hamster I have? [IMAGE][/IMAGE]

Sorry the one picture is upside down haha- I don't know why that happened? Or maybe when it posts it won't look like that. Either way- thank you in advance for helping me with my new girl.

If she came from a pet shop she is most likely from Hybrid lines so a mix of both Campbells and WW. In the pics she looks most similar to a Sapphire Winter white in colour and type I'd say

Welcome to HC.

Aww she's lovely, congrats

As souffle said being a pet shop ham she'll be a hybrid, they call them all sorts in pet shops & it can be a bit confusing!

Thanks both of you! She's very timid right now as I just got her 3 days ago. She was very friendly and active on day 1 and then the next day burrowed and hasn't been very social. I don't want to upset her so I am leaving her alone for now. This forum is awesome with great info! Thanks!!
