Syrian Hamster wish list

[babyboos]

If Santa could bring you any Syrian coat, colour, pattern combination for Xmas what would you choose?



A) a realistic one (e.g. Longhaired Silver Sable Roan)

and just for a fun

B) an idealistic one (e.g. Purple Curly Longhaired With Gold Sparkles, or Luminous Green Satin Spiked Shorthaired with Yellow Eyes...(yuck)...)

[Cazza269]

oooh what fun. lol



1. A longhaired, satin, lilac with black eyes



2. Denim blue coat, gold eyes (like jean studs...snigger) and a wee pocket on the back :lol:

[i-love-paddy]

1) A longhaired smoke pearl male

2) A longhaired, satin, lilac female with diamond studded fur



:lol:

[Pendragon]

Ooooh, I like this idea!



a) A well marked Tortoiseshell & White banded



b) A real Blue hamster, like the colour of blue cats & dogs & Russian Blue rats. Then I could make gorgeous Blue-Cream Tortoiseshell & Whites.



I also think a Black-eyed Pink hamster would go down very well as a new variety!

[PJ]

a long haired dark purple lol or dark blue

[Pendragon]

Second thoughts - I've had a flash of inspiration!



a) Real Hamster: An orange, black-spotted short-haired Satin, just like a Bengal cat.



b) Imaginary: Black and orange leopard-print!!!

How cool would that be! When the neon gene is discovered, you could also have neon-pink and neon-green leopard print hamsters too!



And ooooohh...... what about Glow-in-the-Dark Hamsters? Apparently scientists have already created glow-in-the-dark mice. just think, when they escape you'd be able to spot them straight away, as long as it's night-time.



on!?!" Nothing - I promise! ;)]

[matinee_92]

Lol! Love your avatar, by the way! :lol:

[pophammy]

a) A Long Haired Black-Eyed Cream Satin male (but hopefully Bailey will bring us one, not Santa!)



b) pink, purple and blue striped puffball with sunglasses 8) (!!!) and a crest!!!!! Completly crazy!!!!!! :roll: :-s O:)

[Pendragon]

Lol! Love your avatar, by the way! :lol:



Why, thank you! :D



Trouble is.... I can't decide if she's sucking her thumb.... or picking her nose!!!! :shock: :lol:

[pophammy]

Hey Babyboos, we have your answer! If you go on eBbay you can buy glow-in-the-dark Hamtaro hamsters! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[babyboos]

Now I have a male hamster who would try to get offspring from that :twisted:



Maybe your hammy is biting her nails Pendragon?

[sarah]

Ohhhh where do I start !!!! :oops:



a) At the moment (I change my mind every day!!!!) :lol: A longish haired Rex Banded Chocolate.



b) Either a longish haired Satin Silver Grey or longish haired Satin Black Eyed Ivory with diamonds sparkling in its fur!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Skwee]

a) a pair of sh Satin Lilacs!! :D



b) (cant go too unrealistic because i cant imagine a ham with diamond studded fur :? )



I would like a Satin everything :lol: I would love to see what a satin Yellow Dom spot looks like. Satin + White :? i wonder...



The idea of a 'russian blue' coloured hamster was pretty good... i thought about that many times..



OHHHH i decided!!! i want a Satin Siamese Hamster!!!

[Demondog]

1) A Long Haired one, preferably grey and white, or maybe Black.

2) I deep blue, with silver ticks on the edge of the hairs.

[flogging_molly]

a tortishell they are beautiful

[Emma]

Can't believe I've managed to miss this thread....



1) Real: Lilac....I'd love to breed these one day



2) Fantasy:.....zebra print! Maybe we could invent a "striped" gene that gave white stripes over colour, so a black striped hamster would be a zebra ham! And then we could have other funky striped hamsters too.....

[Emma]

p.s. if anyone can Photoshop me a zebra hamster I'd love them!

[babyboos]

Maybe Debs could make up something with Black Francis?

Pretty cool idea :wink:

[Muddles]

1. Black long haired syrian (if they exist yet) failing that a short haired black - now I did see one of those and Chris had to drag me away as I wanted him and he came up to tank to say hello to me and that was it.



2.Imaginary.- Sky blue pink with Yellow dots

Black long hairs do exist... although they don't look jet black, because of the long hair. The under-fur looks greyish, as it does in Black Persian cats, because they have the same amount of pigment granules as a short hair but obviously stretched along a longer hair length.



Female black long-hairs would look blacker, as their coats are shorter!



This is Albert Einstein, my Black banded Long-hair:

and here's Forte, my Black Rex:

(a bit blacker now as he's had a good moult!)



I may have some Black babies early in the New Year..... :twisted:

[nooboo]

i have to admit my wish list for the future has a nice tort with no white on it and a long hair. though i think i will have a long wait till dave gets out of his hamster loss blues





my imaginary hamster would be a tort, but also have ginger tabby patches. failing that a ginger tabby paterned hamster!

[Muddles]

Oh Pendragon.



Now I know black long haired do exist and I've seen your wonderful pictures, I want one more than ever now. Keeping eyes peeled mission has commenced.

I am working on getting longer, more even coats - you should try to get to a show Muddles, some of the Long-haired hamsters out there are amazing.

[Muddles]

I am keeping my eyes open for a show around where I live. So far I haven't found one as yet.



Will keep a look out though. :D

[flogging_molly]

awww, the Long Haired Blacks are amazing but as for the zebra coloured hamster perhaps it could be something I could aim to work for as I am to be getting a digital camera for christmas?? perhaps I could photoshop something ;)

The Midland Hamster Club is probably your nearest -

http://www.midlandhamsterclub.co.uk/



although the shows may not be that close to Northampton, and you might have to travel a bit! But well worth it, to see so many nice hammies & meet some very friendly people.



Babyboos - your LH Black is gorgeous! If you weren't so far from me, you'd need to put a padlock on his cage... tee hee

1. I have my dream hamster already! Thank you babyboos :D



2. A fibre optic coated hamster :shock:

[flogging_molly]

A fibre optic coated hamster



now that would be pretty cool, longhaired or short haired though?

[babyboos]

Would have to be longhaired so wafted around :oops:



Mimosa is a beauty would love to see how she is developing if you get then chance?

[furrynavel]

Would have to be longhaired so wafted around :oops:

Yes, like the fibre optic ufo light thingies that you can get!



Mimosa is a beauty would love to see how she is developing if you get then chance?

I will get some current piccies on the computer as soon as. Now that I had someone sort my computer after it had a breakdown (possibly my fault :oops: technophobe that I am) I cannot get it to recognise my camera. *sigh*

[babyboos]

I had that same fault when my PC was rebuilt not sure how the other half fixed it in end :roll:

[furrynavel]

Fixed the camera problem so when Mimosa is awake and recovered afer her mammoth play and explore session which lasted almost all night :D I am gonna get her out and click away like a mad thing :D

[Skwee]

what can I say??

[matinee_92]

LOL!! They're great, Skwee! :lol:

[souffle]

Those would make cute boiled egg covers (without the ham inside)

[pophammy]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEE! So cute Skwee! I saw something a bit like that on another forum. Something about a mutant zebra hamster eating green goo! :? :roll: :oops:

[Emma]

OMG!!! Zebra hamster :D that's so great!!!



I wonder if they'll have one in the rescue in the new year ;)!!

[souffle]

Thats great Emma that you are thinking about a rescue ham in the New Year. Phoebe would be so proud. Zebra striped or purple spotted they are all too cute.

[Emma]

You know me, won't be without a syrian for too long. It feels weird right now though. I think I might try and look for a hammy that is very different to Phoebs - maybe a young male. Depends on what is around.



Hmmm might go and look at rescue websites.....
