Talking strange question about robo's

Heya!! sorry for bugging everyone, Just Im a complete noob to robo's

Can you easily tell your robo's appart if they are both the same colouration?

If both are white face or both agouti can you instantly know 'thats ....?'

I hope for two but I dont know yet what colours I want, I really like the husky white face ones, but would I be able to tell them appart?

Thank you!!

Hey Yaz,

There will always be something, first off all you might not see it, but there will always be a slight difference you'll pick up on. They'll also have little personality differences that'll help you tell them apart. Robo's have such different characters and really are little individuals

I can tell my boys apart quiet easily Mine are both agoutis but they have big differences in looks and personality although I am the only person who can tell them apart, everyone else thinks they are identical.
These are their differences:

Cookie -
Smaller
Pointier face, more like a mouse's
Never leaves the nest in the day
His black undercoat is much more obvious, so he looks darker in colour
His fur naturally sticks up
He is faster and harder to catch
He has never made a sound in his life

Truffle -
Bigger
Square face more like a guinea pig's
Longer body
The only one who you see during the daytime
Black undercoat not so obvious, so his fur looks lighter in colour
Very smooth coat
He is more laid back and not as energetic
He is a little more tame and easier to catch
When you pick him up he squeeks

Once you get to know them its very easy to tell them apart they all have their differences Its the same with my winter whites, they look identical at a glance but they have tones of differences

Yes. Even if Dora and Leela didn't have differently shaped dots on their heads, I can see a definite difference. Dora's ears are smaller from the front and set wider apart. Her eyes are also opened less and are farther apart. She's bigger than Leela. Leela's eyes are bigger, more closely set, and her face is a bit more rectangular. There are great differences in behavior too.

I have 2 Huskies and an Agouti, and I always tell the Huskies apart from holes in their ears, and one has a more silvery coat colour x
