There are many kinds of hamsters. These are the main types of hamsters. I'll post what I know ~ let's have a look.
1. Guinea pig
Other names: guinea pig, Dutch pig, groundhog.

Hamster (ham)

According to my analysis, this is a general term for hamsters, and there is no specific breed.

English name: Syrian hamster, golden hamster
Origin: suglia, improved.
Average body length of adult rats: male 12-20cm, female 14-20cm (female rats are slightly larger).
Average body weight of adult rats: male 85- 130g, female 95- 150g.
Average life span: 2-3 years.
Annual mating period: all year round
Average pregnancy:15-17 days.
Number of fetuses per fetus: 4- 17.
Weight at birth: about 2 grams.
Weaning period of young rats: 20-25 days.
Sexual maturity: 7-8 weeks for males and 6-7 weeks for females.
Chromosome number: 2n=44
3.hamster
Other names: pygmy hamster
English name: dwarf hamster
This is a taxonomic name. The following hamsters belong to this category.
4. Campbell
Other names: dwarf Campo Russian hamster, referred to as Campo.
The structure of the first line is almost the same as that of the third line, so the characteristics such as body length are the same as above.
It is one of the most violent hamsters, so you need to pay special attention. It is easy for comrades who don't understand it to confuse it with the wild three-legged mouse, but the stripes on the back of the wild three-legged mouse are more obvious. The price of this kind of mouse is the lowest.

12. woodchuck black-tailed prairie dog
The following are the main varieties that are common in the market (that is, what I sell here):
Silver Fox (Giaccaglia Dwarf Winter White Russian Hamster):
Generally, it is divided into silver foxes with wild color genes, that is, the black provisions on the back are more obvious.
The silver fox with purple warehouse gene is that the provisions on its back are not obvious, even all white.
If the silver fox and the silver fox mate directly, the reproduction rate is extremely low.
Sub-warehouse (third-line Giaccaglia Dwarf Winter White Russian Hamster):
The coat color is a little lighter than the wild third line, but unfortunately the number is not much.
Winter white (three-line Giaccaglia dwarf winter Belarusian hamster):
In winter, with the sunshine, half of the wild tricolor will turn white, close to the silver fox color.
So it's called winter white, which means it will turn white in winter.
Pudding (three-line Giaccaglia dwarf winter white Russian hamster):
This variety is still relatively rare, so the price is relatively high.
