So sorry your robo died. Definitely leave the other one alone. Firstly you can't introduce unrelated robos - it would lead to bullying or fighting. Also if the other one died of some disease it would be best to wait 3 weeks or so before getting any more hamsters as a kind of quarantine. Or did one kill the other one? That is very sad if that happened. It is very common for pairs to fall out and start fighting and they should always be separated if that happens or they can fight to the death.

The one you have now will be absolutely fine on his own. I have a single robo that lives on his own.

If you think about getting a pair again in the future - then cage set up is important to help prevent them falling out - ie no levels (one will get territorial over the level), two of everything - houses, wheels, food bowls, water bottles - so they can have one each and don't have to fight over anything (even though they often share they have the option to have their own). Sorry if you already know all that.
