Default Introducing Joshua

I've been tempted by Roborovskis for a while now and finally I've given into temptation and brought home this lovely Husky Roborovski from Rio Hams on Saturday.

He's still quite young but has settled nicely and has been enjoying some brief handling sessions which follow on from the work that Rio has done with him.

I'm hoping that he'll be joining the show team but until the Husky Roborovski gets a Standard, he'll have to be shown in Non-Standard.

I'm so excited that you have one finally, especially given that he's related to my old boy ^_^ He's so handsome, can't wait to see him at shows and on here

Congrats on your handsome Joshua! He is so adorable, and I love his variations of color. I look forward to getting to know your little fellow more when he settles in. Good luck in all the future shows; I'm sure he will do the Fluffagrams' team proud.

He's so cute, congratulations! I love how sweet his little face is I'm sure he'll do very well in shows
How old is he?

Something I love about hamsters is even when they're the same colour, most of them look so different. Joshua looks so different to my Sundae even though they're both husky!

How old is he?
He's seven weeks old so is a little bit young to show at the moment (Robos need to be at least eight weeks old to be shown) but I'm hoping to take him to the shows that are later in the month.

There's no colour standard as yet for the Pied or Husky Roborovski so he won't be eligible to win Best in Show or any Certificates of Merit but hopefully there will be a day when the Husky and Pied Standards are approved too.
