Robo coloring?

[Noa]

Is my robo hamster still agouti if she has a white spot between her eyes? Also, what causes these white spots in robos?

she might carry the husky gene - i might be wrong. i know someone will chime in with proper knowledge.

she's gorgeous!

Thanks! Do you know what her coat coloring may be called? :3

She's still agouti, but jesselle is right, sometimes agoutis carrying the husky gene will have a white spot or a slightly paler face. My Darla has a similar thing

She is indeed Agouti carrying husky, it comes through in different strengths in different hams. My Rolo's mum Daisy was a pure Agouti with her line stretching back for years, I bred her with Dasher who was a Husky, and as expected all babies came out Agouti. When they were little they were all very chocolatey with dark faces like mum

You can see mum and little ones here



Then dad here



Fast forward 18 months, and you can see how Dasher's husky colours came though in his pups looking at Rolo. His face is nearly white now, and the red tones Dasher had in his coat have changed the orignal chocolate colour.

I have noticed her getting a little faded around her face and edges lately, so that's probably why! Thanks everyone! ^-^
