Re: A hamster with a tail??!!
The hamster is down at my dads house and i dont go there untill this weekend coming! I have a photo of him on his own, would that give you an idea if he is a rat or not?

Re: A hamster with a tail??!!
Are you sure he is not a gerbil? Grebils have tails. Has he always had the tail? I have a pet rat and he is bigger than a hamster.

Hamsters have little stub tails. They are usually pink like their feet.

Very good way to describe it. They do have little "stumpy" tails.
Gerbils are about the same size of hamsters but their fur to me seems more smoother. It could be a gerbil that has lost its tail and now only has a little bit of it left. I have 1 who has the end of her tail missing.
Picture of a gerbil tail and base of the tail.

Re: A hamster with a tail??!!
this thread confused me.. I've always thought hamsters had tails. I've never had a hamster myself though so I'm no expert! They have little stumps like the above replies describe. Or is Syrian a different breed that isn't supposed to have a tail?

Re: A hamster with a tail??!!
That is a regular hamster. It isn't a rat. Hamsters have short tails like that.
