Odd eye colour is something that is seen in hamsters with a pattern so that in itself is not a problem but it sounds like you have noticed a change. Is there any discharge or bulging in the eye. They can easily damage the eye when climbing and falling so I would try and make sure he has deep soft substrate and no bowls etc he can drop on to or high shelves.
Thank you for your reply!
If you have a good look in some good like the best way to describe it is like his eye has just filled with cloudy blood. They were both a very deep black up until yesterday so i assume it is an injury of some kind. Off to the vets then I reckon
