The completely insane answers prior to this were all false and were either put here as a joke or out of ignorance.
Hamsters: Notice the scientific names, not all "Hamsters" are even the same species of animal. There are three distinct species of animal referred to as Hamsters: Cricetulus, Phodopus, and Mesocricetus.
Campbell's Russian Dwarf Hamster
Scientific Name: Phodopus campbelli
Were discovered by W C Campbell in 1902 in Tuva, Asia. They are native to the steppes and semi-arid areas of Central Asia, the Altay Mountains and northeastern China.
They were not as some sites claim, bred by Mr. Campbell from Russian and Syrian Hamsters nor any other "special breeding".
Winter White Russian Dwarf Hamster
Scientific Name: Phodopus sungorus
Similar to Campbell's Russian Dwarf Hamsters. They can be found in Siberia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia and they are also known as Siberian Hamsters.
Syrian Hamster
Scientific Name: Mesocricetus auratus
Originate from Syria.
Roborovski Hamster
Scientific Name: Phodopus roborovskii
Originate around the Gobi Desert, throughout the desert steppe of Mongolia and in parts of Northern China. (Not widely available as they do not make good pets for children, they do not like to be held, they are very territorial and extremely fast.)
Chinese Hamster
Scientific Name: Cricetulus griseus
Originate from the deserts of northern China and Mongolia.
Syria but what's silly is the people in 1920 though that the Syrian hamster gone extinct but in 1930 a man named Aaron Abrahams happened upon a litter of 12 babies and Aaron brought them to the lab and ever since the golden hamster population went up
it depends if your a Christian we all have different beliefs and from the Christians point of veiw they come from God. Christians say that God created everything, us , the earth, the universe, and of course animals, so scientifically to Christians hamsters come from God
The word "hamster" can be traced back to the Middle High German word "hamastra" which is probably from the Old Church Slavonic word "chomestoru". The word "chomestroru" may be a combination of the Russian word "chomiak" and the Lithuanian word "staras", both meaning hamster.
Hamsters come from the deserts of East Asia, where they still live in the wild. They are commonly kept as pets in many countries throughout the world.
