Frostfox, I am your mom's vocal student. She knows me as Rachel.
Good that the sapphire girl is still alive, just try not to repeat that mistake. I actually gave the syrians Loretta and Sinclair to your mom, because I really like the way she cares for her. Your mom tells me a lot with what she does and always checks with me about the care and diet. She even told me she doesn't know why she sometimes sits in front of Loretta's tank and just watches her.

Loretta is also rare, she is a het silver grey, and you can't find that size easily. Loretta is about 6 and a half inches from nose to tail and Sinclair is bigger, they also have cobby bodies and dish like faces. They are the result of selective breeding. But I discontinued Loretta's line because her mother carried a disease that seemed to pass to certain individuals in the litter, its not fatal or anything serious, but it's not good to continue the line if you know or suspect it may pass to the future generations and Loretta showed signs of it.
No, it's impossible for me to not recognize my own prized syrians. Loretta and Sinclair are not young anymore and they have been with me for over a year. It was hard to make the decision to give them up, but Frost's mom put me to ease knowing they went to better homes, though I had no idea he was clueless about hamsters.
Robos can live for up to 4 years. They have the longest documented lifespan out of the domestic hamsters.
