Mocha

Last night I managed to get some pictures of Moxy which show his colour a bit more accurately:

My little bar chewer has finally been thwarted by his Gabber cages :evil:

:lol: he looks so small in his massive cages, they look great! I love his expression on the second pic! :D

[souffle]

Aww he is absolutly adorable. He is an unusual colour but I'd plump for sepia silver grey or at least a grey mix. Unique and gorgeous. :lol: :lol:

How on earth do you get you hammies to look right at the camera?!? SUPER pics!!

[Basia]

He's really lovely Holly. Does he tend to stay in his gabber rex or spend time in both cages equally? It is a lovely set up.
He is so similar to Sid it is spooky. :)

Hehe...that last three pictures are so cute! Mocha looks so curious.. like "hey why havent you taken me out yet?"

Aww he is absolutly adorable. He is an unusual colour but I'd plump for sepia silver grey or at least a grey mix. Unique and gorgeous. :lol: :lol:

He seems to be becoming more and more a sort of buttermilk beige colour and less and less grey as he grows up. I've been studying the colours and how they are formed genetically since talking to Sheryl and Anita about him at Lymm - and I now know what Sheryl meant about "heterozygous silver-grey". If you read the first two questions and answers in the following link it explains a lot - though it's still confusing in parts:

So basically he's the less desirable of the two forms of Siver-Grey - though obviously not to me!!!

I think Snuggleham's got it right with Moxy:

! Mocha looks so curious.. like "hey why havent you taken me out yet?"

He was definitely keen to come out - that seems a good time to try and get photos :wink:

He's really lovely Holly. Does he tend to stay in his gabber rex or spend time in both cages equally? It is a lovely set up.

He sleeps in the Rex, under the shelf and spends him time equally between the two when awake - his wheel is in the Lux and I hear him pattering across his bridge quite a lot in the night.


He is so similar to Sid it is spooky. :)

Does Sid have a fair bit of beige as well?

[pophammy]

Aww, he is gorgeous! Bet he loves his two Gabbers!

[Bailey-Benji]

Awww he is gorgeous, such a stunning colour! His cage set up is great too :D

[Holly]

Thanks you two, he is a lovely hamster in temperament as well, I'm just so happy I decided that I had to have a hamster as well as the boys :wink:

[Emms]

I love the last pic of him.

Holly what simply amazing pictures you are really talented!


Thanks ....but LOL....that is so funny - if you only knew how long I've spent trying to get a single decent picture of Sparrow and Turner, only to end up with a grey or white blur :?

I think the bit about the photogenic hamster must be right :wink:

Hi Holly,

He is an absolutely beautiful and unusual colour. He is absolutely adoreable. You are very lucky.

He is definitely looks good infront of the camera.
