I have 2 Russians - Po and Sifo. Okay, the kids named them. And they're both girls. Go figure.
Yeah, I can't hold them like that. I can't hold them at all. I touch the ruff on the back of their necks and they play exorcist on me and bite my finger.
I never thought of breeding these hamsters. I heard they multiply in a quickness. Wouldn't know what to do with them!
