Default Chelsea!

A while back I put my name down for a " tri coloured " hamster at a petshop near me. I had always drooled over them when I went in there!
So a couple of weeks ago I got a call, and decided it wouldn't hurt to look
Came home with this beautiful girl we have named Chelsea.
She unfortunately developed wet tail after about 5 days, but a week after treatment she seems to be right as rain, much to my surprise and complete delight
When I got her initially I sent pics to Holly to see if she could shed any light on her actual colour. She thinks chocolate tortoiseshell banded, bit of a mouthful! The reason I didn't show everyone at that point was because of my wet tail paranoia.............
Also think she may be satin?
Anyway ,here she is,

Ah-ha! Public piccies at last!!!!

She really is lovely, Keri - I think a few people on here will be drooling over her, I love that second to last picture, what an expression!

She really does look very shiny like a Satin - as for the colour, I'm no expert but I think they call Tortoiseshell banded "Tortoiseshell and white". I wonder if anyone else thinks she's a Chocolate Tort - I've never seen one it was a semi-educated guess!!!!!

again, Im no expert but Julie's guess looks spot on to me! She is an absolute beauty I have to say, and I agree she does look as though she could be satin.

Welcome Chelsea - another beauty for you Keri!

Yep, I too would say that Julie is right on the colour.

She is really beautiful Keri, I'm so glad she pulled through the wet-tail!

She is really gorgeous. I love those colours and she has beautiful markings. I think she is a chocolate tort and white too. She does look satin too! So glad she has recovered from her illness. Keep the piccies coming.
