type of hamster

Question
I have 2 dwarf hamsters and I'm not sure what kind they are?  They are both pure white (male and female) with black eyes.  They had babies and some of them have black skin instead of pink skin.  Is the black skin normal?  Thanks!

Answer
Hi Amy,

most dwarf hamsters have individuals which are white with black eyes so they could be any kind of dwarf - maybe you could send me a pic and i could try to tell you what they are?

The baby hamsters with black skin will end up having dark fur and the ones with pink skin will have lighter fur.  It's nothing to worry about and is normal.

Please let me know if you need any more help.

Regards,

Tammy
