Default Ronan

So I posted on here a few days ago about my new roborovski, who was unnamed at the time. I've finally settled on the name Ronan, and figured that with his own name, he should also have his own thread for updates!

Going to post the pics I put in my first introduction thread here, just so I have all of his pictures together in one place

Now that that's out of the way, on to the new stuff! As for personality, Ronan is pretty much the exact opposite of what I expected from a robo, which goes to show you it's better not to make assumptions He may actually be the bravest hamster I've ever owned! Nothing seems to phase him, and he's already okay with crawling in my hand. He did take a little test nibble today, but no bite. I'm so looking forward to spending more time with him and getting to know him better!

Moving on to the pictures!

I made him a popsicle stick wishing well, inspired by erinsanimals video. So far he hasn't even noticed it's in his cage that I've seen, but it was fun to make anyways.

The well in his sand bath



Snapped a pic while he was eating because he was just too cute



He objected to being documented stuffing his face and turned his back on me



He then decided to pose by his wheel, so he could look like he was planning to work out and burn off his meal















That's all for now, folks!

Thanks you guys! I love his little whiskers, too They give his little face so much expression.

I took a video tonight of Ronan moving all his food from the bowl to the sand bath. Who knows why he thought this was a better plan lol.

And just a few more quick pics from tonight

A little taming time--He was a bit bitey tonight, but I'm hoping that will pass.





It took me forever to get these two pics, sitting in front of the cage with my phone waiting for him to come back out. It was worth it, though. I just wish the exposure would have been a little better.





A few miscellaneous shots








I'm hoping to give him a proper set up in his cage soon. He has everything he needs, of course, but it just feels so basic. I hate the aquarium he's in right now--I used to have a 40 gallon breeder, and now it just feels like I don't have enough room to do anything! Gonna have to keep my eyes open for a good sale on a larger aquarium, but for now, I'll just have to make do I suppose.

Helllo Ronan, you are so beautiful and you so deserve to have your very own thread.
Heart melting pics and those whiskers are amazing, looking at them makes me tickly lol!

Aww bless him putting his food somewhere safe

It's not unusual for them to get a little nippy when getting used to hands, I'm sure he'll get over that soon enough.
Very cute photos, you did well to get shots of a super speedy little robo!

Perhaps check Petsmart's deals on aquariums including a stand?This can work well and end up a decent value,as there are some tanks which can be great for smaller hamster species.For anything on the larger end of the spectrum you may need to build a lid,but that's not difficult or expensive.

Another option is a lot more difficult and doesn't always end well.It involves physically removing a glass panel on the side of each tank and you'd have to have several tanks,but for 20 more dollars during the dollar per gallon sale at Petco you could get a second 20 gallon tank and then you'd have twice the floor space.You could do the same thing with any size tank,however that would also mean you'd have to get more of them if you wanted to expand them.
