Update on Aero - the Mink/Dove!

[Holly]

Aero has been with us for almost 2 weeks now and she seems very settled and is growing madly! By my reckoning she should be just under or just over 8 weeks old.

I'm taking her to Highworth on Saturday to try and ascertain her colour for sure - in the meantine here are a couple of daylight pictures taken just now as she was awake and pottering about. I'm not sure they show how much she's grown but she definitely has!





I think she looks like a teddy bear on this one:

She is a beauty Julie, and I have to say I would say more dove than mink in those pictures. I also agree and think she looks exactly like a little teddy bear. Is she still friendly and eager to come out to play?
I'm sure she's all the more pretty in person!

Holly, she is absolutely adorable - I love the 'smokey' quality to her fur!

When you discover what the official designation is, let me know... I want!

Am hopeless with colours... .... I confess I didn't realise there were so many different varieties of hamster at all so I'm really no help with that one, but she is very beautiful.

I can see why you fell for her, I've never seen a hamster that colour before. But maybe I should just educate myself a little more.....

i'd say she looks closer to dove, too.

You have the same sand bath as we use and in the same position in the gabber rex, too

Cooo cooooo - did she answer? No? she can't be a dove then! lol
I think she looks more dove than mink tbh. The only microbe sized bit of doubt I have is on one of the photos there seems to be a little cream/brown tone coming through on her nose and arm. Unless that's the light of course.

Still no eye rings though...hmmm - no I put my money where my mouth is and say dove - look at Chip at 7 weeks you can certainly see the mink changing and the orange brown coming through.

Thanks guys, she is a sweetie and it's nice you all think so as well!

Teresa if that's Chip at 7 weeks then I'm a bit more convinced she a Dove - Aero doesn't have anything like that beige tone to her coat. I can see the picture you mean but she's not really beige to look at for real - she's probably a little darker than some of the pictures (flash) but it's a deeper grey rather than a beige/brown/orange.

Oh dear here I again ...I'll know soon enough anyway :P

Tabasco??????????????? Hmmm seems I need to look at the rest of the forum :P

She's gorgeous Holly, watch where you put her at Highworth!

Chip was definitely just over 7 weeks old, as that photo was taken the day she came home from her eye op! i think there is a definite difference too!

Her ears seem more of a grey than vrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (soory Princess on keyboard!) Chip's flesh/grey ears.

I think she is a dove - a pretty Charlieeee girl!
