Robin posing.

He's adorable I wonder why he likes that particular corner for his special place I just had to calculate what 9 ounces was in grammes! I can't imagine ounces for some reason So about 255g! He's a big boy.

Sometimes it's the type of lighting affects photo colours - eg if it's low light/dim or if there are lamps on - some light bulbs can cause an orangey cast and different types of light bulb can cause a bluey cast.

Or - you might accidentally have a filter set on your phone? Assuming it's a phone. Which can change colours to give certain effects,

It's very hard to get good photos of hammies when they don't like a lot of light!. Dark fur is harder to capture as well We can see he is a beautiful boy though.

Thanks for thinking he is gorgeous,just like we do. He does love his dig boxes so much ,he has been out and about since 10.40 this morning .playing ,running all over us,and stuffing his face. He hasn't asked to go back yet,he does when he is ready. He is nuts ,as when he comes out of his burrows ,I have to coax him out of his cage,but once out,freedom lol I have tried.all.ways to see what's going on with my photos,but that.

See the differences ?

I don't know much about phone settings for photos - but maybe there's a way to reset them to default or something.

The last one looks like it had flash which overbrightened things The first two just look like low lighting. I have an angle poise lamp which I sometimes point at the ceiling when the hamsters are out at night. It's a bit bright for them if it's pointing normally but if I point it at the ceiling it sort of just diffuses the light and brightens up the room And means the photos come out a bit better.

Thanks for that,the flash was off on both,that light was the tv,and I got him while he was watching. I will keep trying for solutions . Caz's photos come out the best.She has been trying to take some also for the cuteness factor. So watch out for those .

It looks like the way the camera is reacting to the light. If it's a phone, I don't know how the settings work - so much is automated. I find it easier using my "proper" camera to set things how I want, but I don't get it out that often, and when I do, often find the battery has gone flat! Maybe there's a photo tutorial for your particular phone somewhere online

Thank you ,he is def my gorgeous boy.

Well,big public announcement,but it is something I have suspected for a long time .Finally got the chance to fully examine Robins underside without getting nipped or bitten,although Caz did have a scrape. I was lucky to gain enough trust for cuddles in the first olace,as Robin still as a little bit of hamster nerves. But I can officially say that Robin is a girl,and was given to me as a boy . I let it slide for a bit as Robin has a pointed behind,and no nipples. There are patches where nipples should be however,but she def has no "balls",and I thought that you all should know . She doesn't have the burnt rubber smell of previous females either,but does do posturing.

She is a beautiful big girl

Thankyou ,that's the other reason I suspected girl,all of my girls have been large,and Robin is the largest at 9 ounces

I had a ‘boy’ hamster called Rudi who turned out to be a girl after all

Crazy isn't it,I have suspected for a long time,but Robin doesn't like to be turned over ,or examined for too long. Thankfully Robin was because of her colouring,and is pretty unisex lol

Robin is a nice name for either a boy or a girl! Congratulations on your new girl! I suspected Tino was a girl for a while (also large) as he had no pointy back end and no sign of male protruberances. But neither did he have any nipples! After a few months it became clear he was a boy after all. Maybe just a late developer

Hi Maz,watch this space, lol,Robin has the row where nipples should be,close together genitals,and has been posturing. I have never been this uncertain about any hamster I have had before lol It's also insane that you have had this same experience and that Tino is very similar in markings etc to Robin.

They do like to keep us guessing sometimes
