Black is tied to the
silvering gene. Any hamster with a black based color will turn
silver. Age varies as to when this occurs and both younger and
older hamsters can be silver.

* All of these recessive single gene colors require a
double dose for the hamster to be one of these colors. This means a baby
hamster must have the same color gene from BOTH parents. If he or she
gets it from only one parent, the baby will carry the color but not show
it.
