Oh they are gorgeous! You're going to have a lot of fun (and work) sorting them all out now :)

[stellanova1]

AWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! Mini thingumy and bobs!! lol debs you are such a big softy!!! :D :D They are gorgeous!!

[fluffymunchkins]

awww congrats, that brilliant they found a home with you :D
Gabber rex/zoozone 1/duna multy is a good size for a pair, although depending on how active they are you could consider something bigger.

[debs]

i thought of them too when i saw them and everybody seems too think that ^^ *blush*

what about a zoozone 2 the large or is that too big? there pretty active just now.

[debs]

i hope they dont start fighting since there cage is small :(

[CoolcatNatNat44]

awww lucky hammies :D
i would say a zoozone 1? Or something slightly bigger

[SnickersTheFirst]

I'd say Zoozone 2 for the pair was fine. :)

[laura]

aww, congrats. it's nice to hear they live together!!

try and get two of everything for them too to save the squabbling as that can apparently encourage them to fight. the bigger cage will help them stay friends too.. not sure if a zoozone would be too flat for them though? I would have though something that has tubes and sections would have been more suitable perhaps, so they're not living too closely all the time...

you seem to have plenty of fun stuff for them already though, they look very happy! looks like they have found a good home to be spoilt in :P

[debs]

Heyy thanks i thought the zoozone2 large would of been too big? :S im kinda new too houseing too dwarfs together.

[debs]

all so i have too wheels too sand baths too little houses and how should i put the food out with bowls? :S

[stellanova1]

I scatter feed the food mix for more than one ham. I think a zoozone 1 would be fine for now but they might need more space as they get older a zoozone 2 would be good xx

[debs]

i have them in a zz2 Just now all so how can you tell if there toy fighting than real fighting? :S

[thelittleteacup]

oooo congrats :) they are soo sweet! x

[Hope]

Congrats Debs they are lovely. Hope that they get on well in their new cage :)

[stellanova1]

i have them in a zz2 Just now all so how can you tell if there toy fighting than real fighting? :S

Probably other people who can give better advice but watch out for one constantly chasing the other and bottom nipping. Not a good sign. :(
I experienced this with my robo's and also with cinnamon and zoe. In both cases had to seperate, you can just tell when they don't like each other, won't groom each other or sleep together much :(

I've heard loud squeeks coming from Tubs and Skinny and Thingumy and Bob before and one was just grooming the other one a bit too much lol

[debs]

i heard Sqeaking coming from my two during the night but when im up in the morning there sleeping next too each other lol. hopefully the Big cage will give them more room :)

[Gizmodo ^_^]

Ahhh they are all so cute
3 newbies :OO
how many do you own now?

[debs]

About 10 *blush*

[debs]

wait sorry its 12 lol.

[racinghamster]

Glad they found a home with a `rodenty` person! :) They look like winter whites debs? Cage size I would go with something like a Zoozone 1 or 2 or a Gabber Rex, or similarly, a barred cage that was safe with the same footprint.

If the girls do end up squabbling, they can always go into their own habitats. Love the wee male though as I`m a male hamster fan! ;)

[debs]

there ww? i thought they where cambells?

[Sammybingo]

The dorsal stripe makes me think they may well be WWs, but I'm no expert for sure!

Congrats on your new additions! Can't believe someone dumped these cuties, they are adorable! x

[debs]

thanks you :D i know its so hurtful :( does anybody know? i get mixed up with ww and
campbell hamsters

[racinghamster]

The main reason I thought winter white was the colouring. I had a male WW with the same expressions. Yours look similar, but I`m no russian expert! :mad: Just making a comparison with the lad I had.

[debs]

hehe im not ether :) there was some sqeaking last night but now there sleeping together.

[debs]

all so need some Name's for them ^^ anything?

[Hamtastic]

Winter whites should have an additional darker stripe along the edging of the color pattern on the sides--not necessarily as dark as the stripe on their back but still noticeable. The white fur under the zig-zagging dark stripes on the sides should have some dark hairs scattered around and no beige on the white parts.

Here's a photo comparing a WW and a Campbell in your colors:
Campbell's & Winter White Hamsters: How to Tell Them Apart (http://www.dfs-pet-blog.com/2010/12/winter-white-hamsters/)

It's hard to tell from your photos given the brightness and orientation, but the girls seem more WW to me.

Body-shape wise, I'm still not an expert, but they look winter white - hybridy to me.

[debs]

ill try and get better pics is cos there so dam fast. i forgotten how fast they can be.

[Hamtastic]

I'm gonna go with "winter white", but check this out too :)

http://www.hamsterific.com/HamsterUniversity/WhiteHamstersExposed.html

[racinghamster]

Looking again at your photos debs, I would say winter white aswell. They seem to have that faint `double stripe` that Hamtastic`s link shows in the comparison between the two? I only realised recently that my Scooby was a winter white when all along I was`nt too sure, but I am now! :) I lost my wee guy a few years ago though. :(

[debs]

oh my :D they look so much like Campbell's :confused:

[debs]

aw im sorry :( at lessed you know now :). aren't they hard to come by?

[Gizmodo ^_^]

You cant get winter whites in that colour though..
Only Sapphire (greyey colour like my Gizmo,Hugo,Horace)
Pearl (Mabel)
Agouti (Hattie,Huxley)

[Gizmodo ^_^]

Wait on further notice, they kinda look like winter whites
their colour isnt as prominent as my lot though

[debs]

maybe not full ww?

[racinghamster]

Nowadays it`s hard to tell. There are so many hybrids around they could be cross-breeds? Unless these hamsters come from good breeders, it can be difficult to say what their breeding is debs. But I would`nt worry about that I would just enjoy them as `russian hamsters`! :mad:

[debs]

hehe yeahh :D

[Hamtastic]

They look like agouti winter whites to me, but the first photos have an overexposed warm tint to them, so hard to tell. Some of the last photos are more obvious.

[debs]

bad news guys i had too split them up =/ as they wheren't sexed right =/ all so still need names as i cant keep calling them baby dwarfs lol

[Hamtastic]

Aw :( Well, I'm sure they will be fine on their own!

Also, on the color debate, here are some color-corrected photos (de-yellowed).

[Womblehands]

scooby, dooby and do... poor choice of names i know

[debs]

haha there really good i like scooby lol oh thank you ^^ they look like brownish color i don;t think ww are that color i thought it was just campbell's?

[fluffymunchkins]

Both WW and campbells come in normal (brown) colour, which looks very similar :)

[stellanova1]

This is a good site for looking at debs if you are interested AAA Hamsters (http://www.aaahamsters.org/)

I won't give any name suggestions because I'm not very imaginative lol

[debs]

its hard too tell lol im not too fussed tbh but its great too know what they are im looking at the site and its not making it easyer lol :( i hope there not any pitty patter of little paws.

[debs]

you have pretty cool names for your little crew lol
