Re: Olivia, my little Russian :)
Oh gosh, I hope Olivia doesn't pee on my netbook! haha. I never even thought of that
Ha yeah, chubster My mum says she's fat! I disagree, she's just cuddly
And anorak, she probably is a hybrid if you bought her from there. They told me themselves, they pretty much never have pure breeds in. Though I live in the city, so it might be different if you're from a more rural area where less commercial breeding takes place?

Re: Olivia, my little Russian :)
Yeah, I am from a little town. I don't mind what Noodle is though, as long as she is happy and healthy

Re: Olivia, my little Russian :)
That's exactly how I feel about Olivia
You could probably find out if you really wanted to know at any point, though, by examining Noodles a little more closely - I realised Olivia was probably a hybrid when I noticed she was the colour of a Winter White, with the body of a Campbell.

Re: Olivia, my little Russian :)
I must admit that Noodles looks a lot like Olivia. And also seems to share the same love of Broccoli! I will have a look at the body shape of a campbell. Actually when I bought her they said she was campbells, but she has the fur and colouring of a winter white!
*edit* actually in her cage when I bought her when she was with her sisters there was a little white hammy with red eyes. I was lead to believe that winter whites did not have this colouring....?

Re: Olivia, my little Russian :)
If her sisters were red eyed she is a hybrid - red eyes have only come about through hybridistation, as have all the different colours, like argente.

Re: Olivia, my little Russian :)
She is in good company Noodles! Boz and Johnson are hybrid, as is Fluffymunchkins Treo.

Re: Olivia, my little Russian :)
Yay! Do you know if the life expectency is slightly higher with the hybrids at all?

Re: Olivia, my little Russian :)
Im not sure Noodles tbh . . . hybrids typically have more health problems though, as a result of the 'bad' breeding, so they are probably more likey to have shorter lives, but if you have a healthy hybrid and a healthy pure, I'm not sure if one would be more likely live longer than the other?

Re: Olivia, my little Russian :)
Since they have the Winter White colouring, do you think it's likely that they would whiten if their daylight hours were shortened?
