Pearl Syrians anyone?

I'm looking for information on pearl and smoke pearl syrians, with pictures if at all possible, I saw a couple at the Andover show and think they're totally awesome

Well Naomi - was it lilac pearl and smoke pearl you were looking at? these are the only two 'pearls' that I am aware of.

The smoke pearl is a mixture of the dark grey and yellow gene giving a lovely smoky grey hamster with black ticking and black ticked crescents.

The lilac pearl is dark grey, cinnamon and yellow and has a pink-grey smokiness, and light ears.

I love them too- and have currently two smoke pearls, a boy, Sea Scout, and a girl, Sea Shanty. I also have a male Scorpio smoke pearl visiting who we will be using for breeding purposes shortly!

Towy Vale are expert on breeding smoke pearls, and because of the very delicate dark grey gene (which can cause hamsters to be smaller and weaker and with spinal deformities) they are not something to be bred by the faint-hearted!

I dont know what else you want to know Naomi - but there are some baby pics of Sea Shanty here viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3957&st=0&sk=t&sd=a although she is tons bigger and darker ticked now - and I ought to post some up to date ones!

Yes Naomi i would love one but the house is stretching under the weight of all the hams and Kate would kill me if i said i would have one

We have 8 now and a newbie on the way, there is no way we can squeeze another in without me loosing my place on the sofa

Will just have to come to yours and play with the Pearl you get

sofas are hugely over rated

Lol, oh Batkat, I'm sure your other half is as understanding as mine....they just like to pretend they can put their foot down now and again

But if you are already on the sofa - then perhaps getting more would mean you were relegated (literally) to the dog-house!

so maybe no huh?

BatKat · 06-23-2008, 11:44 AM

I think both Naomi & Teresa are ganging up on me

I really don't need the headache

that i would get if i came home with a Pearl. We can't use the dining table already & any visitors we have squeeze themselves around the hamsters as it is. It's a NO for now anyway

**Spuds Mum** · 06-23-2008, 12:12 PM

lol - no I wouldn't gang up on you, I think it is great when someone can say no....I just need lessons in how to do it myself
