Default Hybrids

There are NO red-eyed Winter White Russian Dwarf Hamsters therefore unless it is an Albino Campbell's it is a hybrid of the two species. I would urge you if you have one of these not to breed with it, but to keep it as a pet only. Be careful housing it with pure bred species also as fights may break out as they mature. Albino Campbell's Russian Dwarves are quite fluffy compared to the other colours. (Those with the Platinum pattern are the same.) I cannot see the hamster in your top two photographs very clearly to say whether it is a Campbell's Russian Dwarf or a hybrid - sorry.
