Thank you! Yes the picture is a bit dark. I'll be visiting the last hamster they've got tomorrow. I'll try to take a better picture and repost it to see if we can figure it out. :)

I believe they are what we in the UK call golden Syrians. make sure thir ages are known as they could still be too young to leave the mother. x

By the shading on their Bellow area I'd say a good chance at Umbrous in two of them but yes all are LH Golden Hamsters. The wild color that is the original color and all Hamsters will revert back to if no recessive genes pair up in a breeding. They look healthy and alert in that photo.

I've been told they are 8 weeks. This might be an older picture. When I inquired about them they said they only had one male left. Anyway to tell their age?

Hi Oatmeal Cupcake! I am no expert but I have recently got a baby Syrian who is golden umbrous. No doubt as he came from a breeder with pedigree. If you look at my thread 'please may we present Jarvis and Mocho' you will see 2 photos of him (the only 2 I have managed to take!). This shows you the colouring, a little darker than golden. He is SH not LH. In the photos he is 8 weeks but may be a little bigger than average as a breeder ham. I managed to weigh him the other day at 11weeks and he is 146 gms.
