Did the males tend to be more hairy? Thats what all the research i've done seems to suggest!

ooh I really want a hamster now

Re: long haired syrians?

Yes it's only the Males who get the really long coats.
Females don't get anything like the coat a LH male can.
(usually just some long 'bum fluff' and ear wisps)
Males can get VERY fluffy all over indeed !!

good, that's the sort i'd like mega fluffy!

I like the Rex coated ones as well but they do seem hard to come across!

Re: long haired syrians?

There's actually more Rex about now (in this past year)
Well on the 'show scene' as it were there are anyhow.

I have one myself who was an unexpected suprise.
These recessive genes can hide for a good few generations.


Must say thinking about it, I've never seen any Rex hams in pet shops.

Re: long haired syrians?

My syrian Mr Chip is of the fluffy variety he has a skirt I find that he gets bits of bedding stuck to his botty so i pick it off and give him a brush, which he is a very good boy for now and actually sits still enough for me to brush him properly!

Re: long haired syrians?

Our syrian Lemony was fairly wooly, a toothbush is good for grooming if noone has mentioned it so far
