About this animal
Winter whites are half the size of a Syrian and twice as fast. They are sometimes sold as social animals, but same-sex pairs frequently turn on each other once mature, so we recommend solo housing with plenty of space. Their small size makes them harder to handle than a Syrian, so they suit patient owners.
