Roborovskis (Wikipedia:Phodopus roborovskii) or Desert hamster is the smallest and fastest of all hamsters. These tiny hamsters are about an inch long at birth and grow to be on average two inches long. Distinguishing characteristics of the Roborovskis are the white spots where the eyebrows would be, and the lack of the dorsal stripe seen in all other dwarf hamsters. They live, on average, for 3-3.5 years although over 4 years has been known. These hamsters are hypo-allergenic so may not cause the same allergy symptoms most other types of hamsters can.
