Berry's do, Holly, and they are definitely black eyes. Fuzzy's eyes are also black and shine red in the flash but the others don't. I was wondering if it was something to do with the anopthalic white gene because I have read that shining a torch into the eyes of a hamster that carries it can show a red glow. Maybe the flash does the same....

I agree, Izzy is a gorgeous hamster!

Well since I have gotten a better look at her eyes and they are a dark ruby colour in the light. I went to the pet store and noticed one of her sisters having red eyes and the other (maybe) black eyes (there were two left). I'm not a fan of red eyes, but I guess since they are a dark ruby colour it's okay.
