Default not my week

there was an incident with the robos, it seems the larger two have decided that zoot does not belong with them. i was slightly worried that he always seemed to sleep alone while the other two cuddled up, and there had been one or two play fights, he was always the under dog. this time it got nasty i got a nasty pinch (seems if they really try to bite you its more of sharp pinch) on my finger but got them off him, he isnt bleeding but lost a goot size chunk of fur off his bottom, there may be a cut but there has been no blood i can see. got him set up now in a few rounds of his own. he seems so lonely, but they most definatly dhidnt want him, as after i had got him out, he jumped back in (typical) but psyche scared him into my hand being very nasty to him.



so now we have a little loner, he is in the bedroom till i am sure he is ok, the other two are on a shelf in the bathroom. slightly worried that shrike is female, and phsyche is male and that they didnt want another male about, but i am 99% sure shrike is male psyche is most definatly, and i was 99% sure zoot is male too. should i leave him alone now or get him another mate, he was not the cause of the fighting, the other two just had enough of him.

you need to find him a new young male cagemate as soon as possible nooboo, but be sure he is not injured or this could cause problems with an introduction

seems that there is a little cut on his bum, but it barely bled. Should I wait until it's healed before introducing another one to him?



does anyone know a Roborovski breeder in/near Manchester? I don't want to risk Pets at Home. They couldn't tell me the sex this time (I would also hope a breeder would take a look at him first to make sure I was right before I took a male)

You should let it heal, sorry I don't personally know any Roborovski breeders at all really

Try rescues - perhaps Manchester Rodent Rescue? Or get in touch with hamster clubs, that's how I found a robo pup to be cagemates for a loner (Shirley came from a breeder through the club, Lola was one I rehomed)
