Hello,

All hamsters have a different markings on their body, for example my Oreo has this:

I think it is quite interesting to see all the different types you can get! some hamsters don't have any and some do, that is what makes our hamsters unique! :)

feel free to post pictures on this thread of your hamster's markings, looking forward to seeing some different types. :D

The particular colour is Called Sable Banding I believe :)

LOL it is because of markings I found I had lost a different Black Band male to Hibernation last winter then I had thought. A Band pattern is almost like a finger print as no two are ever exactly alike and that distinct pattern is there from pigment coming in tothe day they pass on to the bridge.

If you would like to read about my situation and how a Hamster I thought gone to the bridge reappeared 5 months later very much alive and squeaking clicky here

I just got a beautiful Satin SH Black Band girl and her band from above her back looks like angel wings LOL. Once she settles in better I will introduce her to all of you.
