Hi!

I’m a geneticist, and the color genetics of hamsters are so fun but I don’t want to breed unethically, so I’m making a hamster breeding simulator! I’ve gotten all the colors described in Hamsterlopedia, as well as the major sites (river Road hamstery, holmden hills hamstery, several weebly sites, etc.), but I still have some questions about genetic combos.

Does anyone have a hamster that is black (aa) and light grey (Lglg)? Does this make a dingy black like aadgdg, or is the color different? If you don’t have a black/light grey hamster, do you have other anecdotal examples of Lg mixing with other black-based colors? I know cream + light grey = ivory, but I’m looking for more examples of light grey mixes. Thanks!
