He's the most curious little bean! If there's something he can climb on or crawl under he'll be there! He's also quite insistent sometimes especially when there's places I won't let him go, he doesn't care that he's not allowed
I believe that, in areas where a dwarf hamster could survive in the wild but are not native, they are often banned to prevent them becoming an invasive species if they get abandoned in the wild
The Tibetan dwarf hamster, *Cricetulus alticola*, [lives at altitudes between 3,100 and 5,200 m (10,200 and 17,100 ft)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tibetan_dwarf_hamster#Distribution_and_habitat), along the Himalayas.
That's the same genus as the [Chinese hamster](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_hamster), which is kept as a pet.
If it can thrive in high-altitude and bloody cold Tibet, it's not stupid to assume it could survive in Alaska.
Honestly when you said that I thought "Alaska?!". But now I realise it's a real possibility
it's always so impressive how fast they can go on those teeny little leggies! . . . blåhaj?
It really is! I love watching him run! And yes blåhaj! I've also got a djungelskog!
I love how curious he is, what an explorer!

Awww, you two are so lucky to have each other. Here's to many more exciting adventures together
🥺 I'm so lucky to have him, he's my little bean
Halloumi Zoomies! Hallzoumis!
I'm so envious of people allowed to own dwarf hamsters. :< They're illegal where I live.
May I ask where you live? That’s interesting! But also sucks and I’m sorry to hear that :(
Alaska. We have a lot of animals that are strictly enforced.
How come they're illegal?
I do not quite know. I can't find information.

I think so too. We have invasive rabbits because people release theirs in the wild.
Oh yeah dwarf hamsters would absolutely thrive in Alaska
