what colors are my hamsters?

[mrnibblesmommy]

Hi I asked this question in another board last night...nobody replied so i'll ask again here can someone confirm for me the colors of my syrian hamsters? (four of them)

[Hekomi]

1. Looks like Yellow black with cream?
2. BEC banded
3. Golden umbrous
4. Reminds me of Nancy's homozygous ED blacks. Nancy would have to confirm this.

I feel really silly....but in what order (names) are you identifying them? i think you're saying....tucker, ziggy, tiggy then lil bear? tell me if im right and thank you for your opinions!!! hopefully a few more people will chime in and i'll finally have it confirmed hehe they are the best things to happen to me in a long long time....

Oh, in the order they were posted on the other thread.

[Nancy's Hamsters]

I say:
Ziggy is eeYellowblack
Tucker to me looks Cream ROAN Banded as only his head has color and the rest of his body looks white. Roan + Banded = and almost all white hamster with coloring focused only about the head and sometimes only a skull cap between the ears.
Tiggy has agouti markings and I can just make out a few black ticked hairs in that photo so I would say Umbrous Yellow
LIL Bear could be a juvenile stage Umbrous Heterozygous Extreme Dilute Black
or he could be a very very poor quaility Black carrying Cinnamon which will make a black coat go reddish brown black quickly

Here is Ieon who is an Umbrous Heterozygous ED Black pup at 5 weeks

in this shot you can see his dark brown black smudge on his nose which is seen with Heterozygous ED Blacks

Here's Amal who is a 3 generation pedigreed Umbrous Hetero ED Black Band

and him on 11-6-14

Note How he has darkened quite substantially in just a few weeks

Hope this helps you determine the colors of four lovely hamsters
