Hamster has suddenly grown a pattern
So I noticed a couple of days ago Vanilla had started growing a "hooded" pattern, which is interesting as I always thought that hamsters were born with their patterns. I couldn't find anything online, but I was thinking this might mark some kind of age-milestone, so that I could estimate his birthday . How old do you think he is? (1st picture is from last week when he was plain cream, 2nd is with a faint pattern, and 3rd was taken just now)

Re: Hamster has suddenly grown a pattern
Looks like he is just shedding his baby coat for and adult coat and what you see as a Pattern is just his molt line. He has a rather rich cream coat coming in. Age could be any where between 8 weeks to 16 weeks or older.

Glowy used to have a V, now I think about it I don't think he has it anymore. Must look more closely at him this evening!
