Are long haired hamsters rare?
How hard is it to come by a male hamster like Little Bear?
I'm talking overall coat length vs just a skirt? His back has short hair so he's not "perfect." I love the way he is and is love to have another male in the future. So what are my chances?

I don't think long haired hamsters are that common.

Re: Are long haired hamsters rare?
Depends, If from a hobby breeder who knows what the standard is for LH Hamsters and sets their goals to achieve that standard they are not at all uncommon, but from a pet store it will be hit or miss on a long flowing correct coat. It also has a huge amount to do with their coats care also so give yourself a pat on the back for tending Little Bears coat properly so it can grow and flow instead of be a tangled mess.

Re: Are long haired hamsters rare?
Thank you all so very much. I do hope I get this lucky again in the future. He's very everything I wanted and so much more. Can you believe this was him back in May?!

Thank you very much but I'll have to hand the credit over to Little Bear. I used to brush him but I saw that it did more harm than good. So I let him do it himself and he seems happy. Matting is rare but when it does happen I just snip it off. The only thing I did was get him his Fibercore Eco bedding.

Re: Are long haired hamsters rare?
I remember when you got this little guy. A long haired, sable...***sigh***
Someday I will find a sable. Until then I have HC and gorgeous hammies like Little Bear to adore.
