The tank looks bare which could well be the reason that your robo is stressed. They don't like to feel exposed, it scares them. Its easily fixed though by adding enrichment and a sand bath. Keep in mind that you have to support heavy items underneath so they don't fall on top of a hamster. I use the Ferplast guinea pig houses minus the front panel.
Have a look at the "Let's see you cages" thread under Housing on the Forum for inspiration and ideas.
