Question calomyscus?

What are these? I found an ad on preloved that said they are mouse-like hamsters. Does anyone here own them or know much about them they more mice-like or hamster-like?

From the pic they look like the size (body) of a chinese but it's hard to tell with nothing to compare it to. They are cute little things!!
