are they robo? (warning way too many pictures)

[nooboo]

right my new ones, i apologise for pic quality, least this time i was taking them and dave holding, it seems that works better. but the camara is still bad, and light not so good, oh i also aplogise for the amount of pictures too



the names ( a prise goes to who can get where the names came from, never let a computer geek name anything) are Shrike that one is more jumpy friendly and slightly ginger looking. pysche who is the largel of the two that have the same colour. and the littleist who has a little line of colour comming down from one eye, he called zoot .



right this is my happy partner holding his new love





shrike looking cute (seems to be the poser of the group)







all of them just before putting them into new home.







sniffing dave to see if he smells ( yes he does )







thought he could control two at once (didnt last long)





ok rest general cutness























(keep editing seems to be a bad spelling day so now i give up :P)

i cant get over how fast they are. dont think shadow likes them, the spagetti junction piping of her cage goes down past theirs then up. she was sat in there and seemed to be watching them, but surly she couldnt see them???



think i will have to rearange her tubing, somehow i doubt it was happy hamster watching

GRRRR Pets at home Sexing Roborovski can be hard but to not even know for definite that is what they were selling you...



Yes you have three lovely Roborovski there, as for sex, I cannot tell from the pictures. Best thing to do is to get Dave to try and hold two at once and turn them over so you see their gentials and if they look the same keep them together, if they look different then seperate enclosures are required as these guys came from the same tank in the store you run the risk of inbreeding, and that aside Roborovski quickly multipy. I had 42 rescues recently from one original pair, and that was only one generation and two litters of babies later...

each of the three looked slightly different :S so not sure what sex they are... unless we have discovered the as yet unheard of third gender of roborovski hamsters :S either that or a little haermaphrodite, especially as one i reckon has nipples and dave reckoned had a 'little sticky outty bit where a woman shouldnt' (direct qoute) will try again tonight, got a pint glass at the ready this time

[babyboos]

Girls have a bit of a sticky-outy bit too so it is not the best indicator sadly Girls have nipples boys have a scent gland in the middle of their tummies. It gets easier as they mature but by that time it may be too late to prevent inbreeding.







Hopefully this will help?
