Sounds awful that I don't know what she is but when I got Tiddles from P@H they told me she was Albino, which I presumed was right, she is white with red eyes. However a few mins ago I posted on a thread which made me wonder - so I googled and now I am not sure.
She has a light grey stripe down her back, which is the dorsal stripe I think?
On this website : Dwarf Hamster Genetics (http://russiandwarfhamsters.tripod.com/hams/id2.html) it says Albinos are completely white with no dorsal stripe.
From their descriptions she sounds much more like an Argente she has the grey stripe and ruby (sounds so much nicer than red) eyes.
What do you think?

Sorry the photo isn't that great, I've only had her a week and she doesn't stay still very long to get a pic lol. I have some videos on youtube too where you might be able to see better - link is in my sig.
