Wow Alberto

You really have some great clear pictures!! I love the set up you have for your hams as well. Do you have any picture of the WW in their white coats?

alberto60 · 03-17-2005, 08:28 AM

thank you candacebell...

..no I haven't any picture of WW in winter coat, because both male and female didn't turn white last winter (the female for a while, seemed to start becoming paler, but at the end she didn't...)

...you can see some sapphire among the babies, in all the litters till now (4)there was at least one (the maximum was 3 on 7)

...the babies seem to be subject to color coat changing in the first 3 weeks...a sapphire (apparently) turned to normal during the 3rd week, strange, isn't it?

bye bye

Wow they are so clear

You have a great camera and an absolutely gorgeous bunch of Winter White Russian Dwarf Hamsters. Have you kept them for long?

Do you mind if I use the one with the WW's crammed in the house as an avatar image for people to use?

That is a great picture!

These will hopefully help those who am are not sure which subspecies of Russian Dwarf they have - as you can all hopefuly see they are quite different in appearance (size, shape and colour) and I have also found demenour.

I usually keep the litter for 5-6 weeks, when they have almost reached the size of their mother...it's sad after that time to give them all to the pet shop...even posting messages in various forum saying "dwarf babies WW russian hamster available" haven't produced any result to date...

Well feel free to post a Classified Ad in the appropriate section here

In general though how long have you been keeping Winter White Russian Dwarf Hamsters?
