That's funny, part guinea pig! I don't think I realised all the different colours of hamsters. In the 80's I had cinnamon and golden - so classic colours there. my friend had a long haired light coloured hamster, but can't quite remember the colouring of it. Your comment made me go off down a rabbit hole of hamster colours

Yes, I was really happy to find that Guinea pig photo, as I had no idea my dad had it.
