Were do dwarf hamsters come from?

Dwarf hamsters are a group of hamster species that are smaller than the Syrian hamster. They originate from various parts of Asia, specifically:

* Campbell's dwarf hamster: Native to the steppes of Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Russia)

* Winter white dwarf hamster: Native to the forests and steppes of Central Asia (Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan)

* Roborovski dwarf hamster: Native to the deserts of Central Asia (Mongolia, China, Kazakhstan)

* Chinese dwarf hamster: Native to the grasslands and agricultural regions of Northern China

It's important to note that these are just the wild origins of the dwarf hamster species. Today, dwarf hamsters are bred and kept as pets all over the world, with many variations and color morphs developed through selective breeding.
