Re: Is my Hamster eligible to show or would he be DQ'd?
It would be up to the judge to decide if they felt it was a kink or a break. I can usually tell what it is by the feel of the bone. It isn't just greys who can get kinked tails though as it can appear in other colours. I check all the tails as I go over the hamsters.
If I were judging and I decided it was a broken tail I would deduct from the 'condition' section similarly to how I would deduct there for long toe nails or a ripped ear.
