Robos are like the ever-curious baby hamsters, even as adults. They have adorable faces and appearance, they are very energetic and love their wheels and running around their cage (if it's big and has a lot of toys). Mine rarely slow down, and when they do, they take very cute short breaks snuggled against each other--and then on to more crazy running!

When I hold them, they feel different from my winter white. I swear it feels like they are five degrees warmer. They have so much energy, they are like fuzzy heated cotton balls.

I like that they are independent and always find a way to entertain themselves. I sort of see Syrians as dog equivalents (require a lot of attention) and Russian dwarves are like cats, and robos are like kittens--playful and interested in doing everything on their terms. There's a good chance they won't be climbing on your hands any time for cuddles, but it can happen with some. If you don't require this quality, they have more than enough to cover everything else.

Basically I love them because their joyful playfulness is very infectious. I feel happy watching them.

My little Pip is just lovely to watch, and it feels so amazing when he slowly starts to trust

Ah yes, definitely the trust part is amazing. It takes time to get to some level of trust, and it does feel amazing with them. It feels like a special gift of sorts.

Because I actually light up whenever I creep into the hamster room and one of my boys is out. Even though I see them everyday, they make me smile as If I've never seen something so cute before.

I love that something so tiny can have such differing personalities, and I love that such a tiny life can grow to trust you completely and become your little buddy.

Robos warm my heart really

Everything Hamtastic has summarised. They are so funny to watch, can live together and cuddle up being the cutest thing in the world. Their faces are adorable, their body is so tiny and their paws a relatively big. I am soon going to post some pics of my hams so watch out for it, it has cute overload!
