Should I use "at the house" or "in the house" or just "at home", or are "in home", "in the home", "at the home" also correct in this context? Could you check please if the other sentences sound natural? It's about a hamster.

"He likes to run at the house. His breed is decoative. He runs abruptly towards me when I call his name. He is not (an )adult. He's two."

"He likes to run at the house.
His breed is decorative.
He runs abruptly towards me when I call his name.
He is not (an )adult. He's two."

He likes to run around at home.
I have no idea what this means. Is "Decorative Hamster" the official name of the breed?
He runs/sprints towards me when I call his name/when I call him.
He is not an adult.
He's two years old.

Very small breeds are called that in Russian. Or even dwarf rabbits/hamsters. What do you use in English to talk about very small breeds of hamsters/rabbits?

Is "at home" the only correct option?
 
I've heard of dwarf rabbits and Russian hamsters. They're the only two terms (that sound similar to yours) that I've heard in English, although I'm not exactly an authority on such terminology.

You could say "He likes to run around the house".
