Well, good then

They'll be very glad to hear that. I think it took quite the toll on their self esteem...

Let's just say when I saw them in the shop for the first time, I squealed and said they were toooo tiny! They were like the size of my thumb. Ok not so small, but I was scared to take them home, because I'd never owned anything so tiny (I had big cats before). When I came back in 3 days, I felt a little better, because they got about 50% larger. I think they were maybe 4.5cm long when I brought them home.

Should they still grow further at their current age of ~6 months? I want them to be BIGGER

They get plenty of protein in their diet.

Lol that really made me giggle

I think your girls sound about the same as the baby girls Hamtastic. I think at six months they are meant to be fully grown, but Dasher and Whizzbit have continued to get bigger and gain weight. I think they're just putting on muscle now though rather than actually growing. The Cloud as I've said went from 37g to 17g and obviously he didn't actually shrink, he just lost all his muscle poor little man.

I don't imagine the girls will get as muscular, so they may stay the size they are

I was meaning as adults, I can't even think about robos as babies (and your picture confirms this!), I'd be WAAAY to scared to go near a robo and especially as babes. I don't even know how I managed to handle dwarves! Sen seems small (especially in comparison to my parent's Labrador dog lol).

I was more wondering if there was a like world record for smallest healthy robo, perhaps like 20g and shorter than the average robo...?

Poms.... I simply can't handle the cuteness anymore, I nearly fainted! Pics of your hams + me home alone with no one to call emergency services = not safe! *plans epic-est hamnap ever to be created*
Wish wish wish there were robos in South Africa!

Oh my, I feel something happening. I was not interested in any other species apart from Syrian hamsters, but slowly slowly, I feel myself getting somewhat gooey looking at these robos...how incredibly tiny! And fluffy!

Tell me about it! I blame Poms! I've even been emailing someone about ordering a custom vivarium for some in the future.. !! x

Ah it's all part of mine Jam and The Cloud's original plan to spread the robo pompom love to everyone! It's impossible not to smile when looking at a robo

Cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute attack!!!!!!!!

I LOOOOOVE that pic of The Cloud (is it?) in the log!

But they are all pretty adorable! Me thinks you should post up LOTS more pics of robos Poms!

Create a whole thread just for mini-mini-hams!

Hehehe I didn't have The Cloud when he was that mini, he was about eight weeks when I got him. That's one of his gorgeous sons my little Whizzbit having a snooze there, I can tell by his eye
