Meet Willow!

[Winter white dwarf]

Ever since I joined this forum a few weeks ago, I have been so excited to post this thread! On Friday, I adopted my first ever hamster. It took me a day to come up with a name because I couldn’t figure her gender. I think she is a girl but once I’m able to hold her, I can confirm. Willow made herself right at home in her new enclosure. Since she was doing so well, I fed her a baby puff out of my hand after she woke up. Willow was surprisingly comfortable with eating in my hand. I’m excited to continue taming her! I am very young and I hope to continue improving my hamster care through research and now, experience!

She is absolutely gorgeous I'm so happy for you that she is friendly. Can't wait to hear about her taming journey. You could start a "diary" thread for her if you want under the Dwarf Hamster section - where you can upload photos and updates about her

Congrats! Willow really beautiful, good to hear she’s settling in so well already, look forward to seeing more of her.
In some of those photos she looks a bit like a little Chinesey!

I thought that too! But she can’t be as she doesn’t have the tail. Maybe it’s the colouring that makes her look a bit like a Chinese hamster - and her face shape a bit. Photo 3 definitely looks Russian dwarf hamster pose though to me

Congratulations on adopting Willow. She is a lovely looking hamster and it will be good to follow her progress with you as she settles down in her new home.

I know, it’s just a few of the photos, in the others she does look like a typical little Russian!
