Hello,

My russian dwarf hamster is changing colour. Does this mean he is a true winter white?

When I got him 7 weeks ago he was almost pure white with a silver dorsal stripe and two light silver streaks on his cheeks.

In the past two weeks, he has developed some grey spots growing out from his dorsal stripe which started out small but have grown much bigger.

I don't mind the colour change at all. I find it fascinating, but didn't expect it as I thought he was a hybrid. Do hybrids change color?

I'll pop up a pic later when I get home from work.
