Default Colour on my little lady?



I wasn't 100% sure. I know she's short hair but wasn't sure colour.

Golden, yellow... ? I know she's banded

I don't think she's umbrous, no darker ticking.

If she isn't umbrous then I would go Golden Banded. She is a beautiful little girl x

I'll see if I can get some clearer pictures tomorrow. I don't /think/ umbrous... but then again, my hamster expertise lies not in genetics and breeding. She's darkest around her face for sure, but there is some darker parts on her back.



That shows her back a bit better.

I may be wrong, but I think she is a golden umbrous band. In your second picture you can see her cheek flashes more clearly, and if she was a normal golden you would expect to see a white flash under the darker one. However, the lower flash looks quite sooty which makes me think she is golden umbrous. Like I said though, I may be wrong.

I agree, you can see the umbrous coming through on the second picture. On the first its not as clear. I would guess Golden Umbrous Banded As well, but you need a Syrian colouring expert to come to this thread and tell us for sure! x

Ooh, thank you! Yeah, I know very little about the colourings, haha. I can get the patterns usually.

Mmhm *nods*, looks umbrous golden to me too. As Scoobysue said, you'd expect to see an ivory crescent under that darker cheek flash in a regular agouti animal, but it's looking darker probably due to umbrous. Pretty girl - nice band on her

I'm pretty sure she's umbrous as well but I'm not great at figuring out colors either lol She's a darling girl! I love the name Java for her <3
