This type is also known as the ‘Common Hamster’ and not surprisingly it is the most prevalent pet.   This is actually a nickname given to an unusually coloured Syrian hamster. It’s the same species but a different hue.
     
The same species as its short-haired counterpart, this version is endearingly fluffy!  

As the name indicates, this breed originates from Russia.
