Default 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.
