My new pair of dwarfs =]

Jennithefluffy1 · 07-30-2011, 04:04 PM

So as I'm new to the forum I figure I should probably post up a couple of pics of my new babies (only got them on Thursday evening from P@H).
I've been told they're females and so have been named Vera and Nellie, but the guy actually serving/assisting me forgot which cage was female and which was male *sigh*
I'll get the vet to check when I take them in for their appointment in a month...
But anywho! On with the pics =D The one with the slightly darker dorsal stripe is Vera, she's also pretty tiny compared to Nellie.

Nellie!
(this pic is showing up HUGE in the preview post despite only being 320x480...hopefully sorts itself out when I post)

Nellie!

Vera!

Vera!
While I'm here, anyone can hazard a guess at approx. age? And also whether you think they're hybrids, in which case I'll move the post. (I'm aware that coming from P@H they're probably hybrid to SOME degree, but just curious)

Hiya and welcome to the forum

gourgous hamsters im sure someone will be able to tell you about species.

What cage are they in, as pets at home seem notorious for selling small cages. ?

Really nice looking hams,I rate they look hybrid,more towards the cambell dwarf but still hybrid.

Aw they are both adorable. I love their colours. Really pretty.

Very cute hams! I love orange hams myself

They look like mostly (if not entirely) Campbells (colors, fur length, shape).

Those look like Mini Dunas, Dan, which should be okay for them for now.

Hamtastic is right, they're in a mini duna for now. It was the best value for money in P@H since it was bundled with everything... But they're only in it till the end of the month then they're being moved to my lovely homemade bin cage ^^

Thank you both! I'm still getting used to how SMALL they are compared to my Syrian xD

Yeah I was thinking they looked mostly Campbell hence I stuck it in here...The mini duna should be ok until I move back to Exeter in a month and they can have a 62L bin cage right? Nothing bigger will fit in my room at home so this is their holiday home xD
