🐭Dzungarian hamster

Phodopus sungorus (Pallas, 1773)

ジャンガリアンハムスター (Djungarian Hamster) は、ヒメキヌゲネズミ属に属するネズミの一種である。和名はヒメキヌゲネズミ。 日本では、愛らしく慣れやすいことと飼育スペースが小さく済むことから人気が高く、ドワーフハムスターの中で最も多くペットとして飼育されている。 冬になると体毛が白く変化する個体があることから、欧米ではウィンターホワイトドワーフハムスター (Winter white dwarf hamster) またはウインターホワイトロシアンドワーフハムスターと呼ばれる。
