Campbell's Dwarf Hamster

Phodopus campbelli

Campbell's Dwarf Hamster (Phodopus campbelli) is a small companion hamster species managed by breeders, rescues, laboratories, and pet owners. Field identification usually centers on coat color, pattern, hair type, line name, sex, source, and whether the animal is a pure species or a hybridized pet-trade line. Care records usually center on housing, enrichment, diet, bite or injury history, reproduction, and separation from incompatible cage mates.

In companion records, this label keeps Campbell's dwarf hamster separate from broader catch-all categories and from domestic look-alikes. Track source, locality, life stage, permits when relevant, health findings, and the observed color form rather than forcing a generic entry; that keeps releases, transfers, husbandry notes, and future image prompts auditable for Campbell's Dwarf Hamster.
