I was having a browse through our local P@H the other week, and I happened to notice a cage of male Robos.
Well, it looked like an absolute madhouse - there were about five of the blighters in there, all as mad as a hatter... all very tame, as hamsters from the York P@H tend to be - a big thumbs up for those chaps!
What really caught my eye, though, was the size of them!
I've commented on other thread, especially Bean's, about size - I have a female Robo, Dave, who is tiny! She's so manic, she's run off all her fat, and is absolutely tiny!
But some of these chaps were easily the size of the Winter Whites in the cage next door - and easily as big as my chaps at home.
Is this a common thing? Are males larger? Are they slower?
We've often had the discussion - much as we love Dave - about whether we would keep Robos again; this might settle it.
Thoughts?
