I've been meaning to put together a short article for the site for a while, giving all the odd names that pet shops call hamsters!!! I thought a brain-storming thread would be in order.....if anyone has seen some fancily named exotic variety of hamster advertised, add it to the thread!!!
Here's ones that I've come across (also including standard alternatives for some varieties):
Golden - Syrian (any colour)
Fancy - Syrian
Teddy Bear - Long-haired Syrian
European Black Bear - Black Syrian
Polar Bear - White Syrian
Panda Bear - Black Banded Syrian
Red Fox - Cinnamon ? Syrian
Alien - Hairless Syrian
Desert - Roborovski
Djungarian - Campbells?
Siberian - Winter White?
Blackberry - what did we decide these were?
Striped - Chinese
Hairy-footed - Chinese? or Campbells/WW?
