Default Aaaaaaaah!

There's a rescue an hour away from me with a 'black bear' hamster and they are supposedly really sweet...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAH! I'm so excited :3 I'm gonna call today to see if they still have them. I could just die with excitement!

no, there is nothing different about them, black bear is a made up pet store name to sell them for more money, they are just black syrians

The term "bear" is short for "teddy bear" and that's just another name for syrian - I'm pretty sure. I've never read anything about them being bigger.

Check out my signature. Tobi is a 'black bear' although she's a baby. XD She's just a normal Syrian.

Awh she's all shy and says "Thank you!" She's still so smalllll.

On topic: I do agree that Black Syrians are ADORABLE. Princess Evie is another one on here. And Bear. They're both major cuties.

Its just im sure i read somewhere that they were bigger but to be honest i never truly believed that either- like you all say it was either just to promote them or written by someone who didnt have a clue what they were talking about.
