Advantages
Gentle and Easy to Raise: The Dwarf Winter White Russian Hamster (also known as "Milk Tea" Hamster) has a gentle temperament and is easy to take care of, making it suitable for novice pet owners.
Suitable for Beginners: For those who are raising a pet for the first time, the Milk Tea Hamster can be a great choice because they are relatively uncomplicated and require relatively less care and attention.
Nocturnal Activity: The Milk Tea Hamster is mainly active at night and won't disrupt the family life during the day, which is suitable for those who work or go to school during the day.
Small Size: Compared with some large pets, the Milk Tea Hamster is relatively small in size, making it suitable for living in smaller living spaces.
Cute Appearance: The fur color of the Milk Tea Hamster is similar to that of pearl milk tea, with a unique appearance that may visually attract people's attention.
Disadvantages
Disadvantages of Nocturnal Activity: Although nocturnal activity is one of the advantages, it can also become a disadvantage, especially if you hope to interact with your pet during the day.
Relatively Short Lifespan: The lifespan of the Milk Tea Hamster is usually around two to three years, which is relatively short. This means you need to be prepared to face the possibility of your pet's passing.
Less Interactivity: The Milk Tea Hamster may not have as rich interactivity as some other pets (such as dogs or cats). They usually don't form deep emotional bonds with people.
Not Suitable for Carrying and Cuddling: The Milk Tea Hamster doesn't like being held or carried very much and may feel uneasy or frightened. This means you can't interact with it as freely as you would with a dog or a cat.
Potential Health Problems: Some Milk Tea Hamsters may have congenital or hereditary health problems, especially if the breeders practice inbreeding. This may lead to the pet requiring more medical attention.
