Is albinism in hamsters rare?

The truth is that there are no true albino hamsters. Sure, they look white but being albino means to have absolutely no colored pigment, and hamsters, no matter how they are bred, always have at least some pigment color. Also, albinos have red eyes, and hamsters never have completely red eyes, only reddish purple or reddish black. So, to answer your question, albinism is not only rare, but so far in scientific exploration, is also proven to be impossible. Sorry!


Is it normal for an Albino Hamster with black eyes to turn red?

An albino, and I mean ANY albino of ANY species (not limited to hamsters) WILL have red eyes. If it's eyes were black in the beggining, it's not an albino, just white-furred. I'd reccomend taking it to your vet.
