I'm glad to see the colour exists in the wild and that they are getting help. I hope they survive

Well I thought I knew about wild hamsters in Europe, but I had no idea there were black ones! So it's a natural mutation then. Interesting how their ears contrast so much. And they are cute. Are there any videos of them?

Were your screenshots from this page? It says the black is a dominant colour now and litters can be all black or some black some coloured and the different colours breed together. That suggests there might be some more colour mutations appear if the black hamsters are breeding with the coloured (golden hamsters) ...............

Black Common Hamsters (Cricetus cricetus)
Black common hamsters? They exist! Their snout, paws and a spot on their chest are white. In Germany the black hamster occures in Thuringia.

Bet they were petrifiedWolves have been seen yelping in fear and fleeing into the forest. Shortly after a grumpy looking black hamster comes hurrying into view muttering, where did that wolf go?

On that first video the black one is so cute! Clearly seeing people off but he does look like a panda or a teddy bear. They look completely different somehow. There are some other videos of the European hamster on here - not sure if you've seen them.
