Question Are these guys hybrids?

Hallo! I don't often post here because I don't have hamsters myself. I did foster some on behalf of Scritches before which have since found homes.

I have picked up three rescues today that I'll be looking for homes for shortly as part of Crittery. So I'll be picking brains again

They are three boys,they were told 'russian micro' and came from pah. I'm thinking hybrid after checking the thread on here but would like to get more opinion on this:





Thanks all!

They look almost identical to our hybrid Timmy, so I definetly think hybrid

Oh plus P@H have confirmed that they knowingly sell hybrids in an email to me, and the email strongly implied that they'll never sell purebred "russians" (the person writing the email instead tried to tell me that purebred campbells/winter whites don't exist), which gives more grounds to assume that all P@H russians are hybrids.

From what I've gathered, unless you have papers to prove that they are purebreds then just assume they are hybrid. Still looking very lovely and remind me of my little hybrid hammy :3

What handsome guys. They're lucky to have found you and I hope they find a fab forever home soon.

Ps- I agree, likely to be hybrids and safer to assume so
