Campbells come in more of a variety of colours , like black to beige, being the same main species as WW they look similar, only few hamster owners can tell the difference.
People often mistakenly breed WW & campbles together, resulting in hybrids which is unhealthy for they hamster , but most commonly found, if a male WW is mated witha female campbel, the female will die in birth because the ww babies are too big for them to be pushed out so breeding is never a good idea. Neither breeds do well living together.Both live to about 1 1/2- 2 1/2 years"

Although all hamsters are different, and p@h tend to get the crossbreds campbells x Winter Whites.
Oh ok, I wondered if Poppet could be a WW? Or he could be the cross bred variety if that exists, I thought it was impossible to breed the two though?

I'll wait and see if he changes colour lol. Also I just realised this has gone quite off topic!!
