Hey, I just got a new hamster from a small pet shop and they didn’t tell me what type of hamster he is. I know it’s a dwarf but what type? I attached some pictures of him below. Hope you can help! Thanks for your help

I think you have a Dwarf Campbell's Hamster. Its a variant of a Russian Dwarf hamster. These guys tend to be more curious and outgoing then other hamsters. Congratulations on adding Gus to your family! I know you will have lots of fun with him!
