Question
I have a female teddy bear hamster and she just had babies but one is pink and the other pups skin is black.why is it black?and do you think he will be alright??

Answer
Hi Stacy,

Hamsters' skin tones can vary widely, according to their fur.  The baby hamster with the black hair will end up having dark fur, while the other baby hamster with pink fur will have lighter fur.  It's nothing to worry about :)

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask :)
