Re: Syrian Scent Glands
This might sound daft but last night me & John noticed that Fudge's fur around his glands was really wet.
Now Gizzy is in her cage close by. She is a dwarf, but would Fudge even though he is a Syrian, still sense she is a female albeit a different species of hamster?

Re: Syrian Scent Glands
i'm not sure about that?
I can't say about whether porridge or treo react to Peggy cause shes stopped coming into season now at her age.
But i do know some people have syrians that get very wet glands even when they rae the only hamster in the house!

Re: Syrian Scent Glands
Once again I'm going to say how much I love this forum. I was just tickling Chew and felt a lump on him. On closer inspection I noted it was pigmented. I started panicking and then realised it was his glands!! This thread has confirmed this ![](https://www.hamstercentral.com/community/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif) Ever need any pictures of pigmented bits, his boy area is very dark too lol.
Poor pickle, getting prodded and poked by captain paranoid here! x
Oh and edit to add, he often runs along the back of the sofa against the wall rubbing his glands on the wall. So I knew they were there. I've just never got through his fur to see them before!

Re: Syrian Scent Glands
Yes that is OK Tita. It varies how coloured they are depending on the colour ofthe hamster. Greys and goldens are often dark from birth

Re: Syrian Scent Glands
Patch seems to have quite big scent glands, he is always rubbing his scent everywhere, then he always shakes (like a dog shaking the water off!). We call it "rub 'n' buzz"
