Satin Roan · Tortoiseshell

Long-haired Syrian Hamsters

Our Syrian line focuses on satin roan and tortoiseshell band genetics — the rarest and most sought-after patterns in the hobby, with coats that catch light like spun copper.

Tortoiseshell banding is sex-linked
Solitary — one per enclosure
40-gallon minimum recommended

About Burrow

A single room,
a single standard.

Burrow is a one-person operation run out of a climate-controlled spare bedroom in Portland, Oregon. No mass production. No shipped-before-weaned shortcuts. Every animal leaves at 8 weeks minimum, having been handled for at least 15 minutes every single day.

We track coat genetics across every litter, maintain vet partnerships for health checks, and stay in contact with every family we've ever placed with. This is a small practice run with obsessive care.
