Default Re: Hamster screeched at me!

I hadn't realised she was a robo! I agree the bath is too much for such a tiny ham, I don't use that method with my Chinese & Russians even,
I can't see much of her cage set up but again agree that making the substrate as deep as possible is important, robos do love to dig & burrow, things like cork tubes are great for them too & simple things like egg boxes with a couple of holes cut out can make a great little place to forage & hideout.
Just keep going really slowly with her, robos can take a while to tame & some are never really hand tame in the way that other species may be but it's still worth persevering & forming a bond with her.
Don't feel bad about scaring her, we all make mistakes in the beginning & keep on learning!
