What colours are these?

[BCjetta]

These are a few of the hamsters I've had over the years that I wasn't sure the colour of.

This was Cedric. SPCA was going to put him down because they said there was blood in his pee corner. I took him home...never saw a problem.


This was Corona...I'm thinking same colour as Cedric


This was Larry



And this was Schwepps. She was a SH golden satin...but I'm curious whether it looks like she could have the white belly gene?

OK Cedric looks like he was a LH Mink Band by his eye rings.
Corona looks as you said the same as Cedric minus the band so a LH Mink.
Larry looks a twin to my Kiley and is a LH Yellowblack or Melanistic Yellow Band
Schwepps could be a lot of things but my guess would be a Poorly patterned Dominant Spot and Being she has a pattern and her belly would be white it would be impossible to know if she was also Wh White belly or not. From my past experiences with Dominant Spot/WH animals she does have a highly suspicious pattern for being both Dominant Spot and Wh white belly, but no way can you say for sure she is that unless she were bred to a Sable or Mink, or Cream mate. A very beautiful hamster no matter which she was.

Just curious why would breeding her to sable, mink or cream (as opposed to other colours) tell you if she carried that gene or not?

White belly expresses itself as roan on cream based hamsters.
