Re: Is my new hamster a hybrid?
She is a long haired black hamster. Females are sort of tufty all over and the fur behind the ears is always longer. Because it is longer the thinness of the fur makes it appear grey. She is very pretty. Blacks will normally brown as they age to a sort of chestnut colour and this is normal.
You don't get Hybrid syrians. That only happens with Campbells dwarf and Winter whites.
The long hair gene is recessive in syrians but carriers can show a slightly longer coat behind the ears however your little one is a full long coat.
