Description
Distribution and habitat
The grey dwarf hamster is found in most of Eastern Thrismari, excluding the tropical north and subarctic south. It originally inhabited dry grasslands, arid steppes and semi-deserts, but it has spread into cultivated land and gardens, and even sometimes into buildings. Its range also intersects with the Thrismari Hamster in more temperate climate.
