Cosmo's colouring?

CityOfHamsters · 03-12-2015, 11:51 AM

I made one of these threads when I first got bean because I wasn't sure of his colouring turned out he was a dominant spot I think, and now I have no idea what Cosmo is I was thinking he might be a dominant spot aswell but he barely has any marking just three small light brown marks on the bottom of his back? I don't have a clue about genes and stuff but I saw something about a roan and was wondering if he might be a roan? I'll add pictures to show you his colouring x

Thank you I thought he might just be white but he has these little dark brown patches on his back on like 2 but he's not fully white and his eyes are black I think it's my camera haha

Here's some more pictures of his back you can see the light brown speckles near the bottom, I bought him from a breeder so I saw the mum and dad and from what I can remember I think the mum was brown and white banded and the dad looked black and white dominant spot, do you think I should message the women and ask her if she knows what the mum and dad are?
btw I'm 100% sure that his eyes are black you can see on the first picture clearly I think it was just my camera being weird

If he has some colour he isn't a white. His eyes are actually red though very dark as you can see how pale his ears are and if the eyes were clack his ears would be much darker. I think he is either a Long haired red eyed cream dominant spot or a LG red eyed ivory dominant spot. He could be another colour of dominant spot but with showing so little colour it is really hard to tell. Can you get a close up of the colour patches?
He's a cutie though for sure.

ah OK I see them now. Maybe LH Dove dominant spot with few spots?

Mink Ds also comes to my mind. Do you have the Polywhite gene in the UK yet? If you do then he may be a Homo Polywhite Ds of either Dove,Cream, Mink, or even Cinnamon. He is a lovely boy what ever he is color wise.

Thank you Souffle, I don't know why but I love to know what colouring my hamsters are I just find it interesting that he looks nothing like his mum, dad, brother and sisters if I attach some pictures of his brother and sisters would that help because you can see how different they are and there colourings? i'll attach some

the one alone is his brother and the group are his sisters, these pictures are off of the ad that was where I found Cosmo x

Thank you I'm not sure if we do to be honest I've added some pictures of his brother and sister I don't know if that helps it might because you can see what gene they carry

Looks like they are straight black and banded and banded dominant spots in black and possibly dove? That would tie in with him being a banded dominant spot dove.
As far as I know Nancy we don't have polywhite. We have a few recessive dappleds around now but they are still not common.
It's hard to tell without seeing him in the fur though as pics can be misleading. what colours were his parents?
