I hope you get your robos soon though!

Not 3, 5 months (so far) And I'm not saying that there is a problem - We've wanted robos since June last year, we just weren't ready until Boxing day to actually contact a breeder, and what with the move, that held things up a smidge.

My hedgehog, I spoke to the breeder in Feb, and took her home in July last year, so ironically, my robos are going to be more 'rare' than my hedgehog, heh!

But like I said, all my query emails (I'm sending one a month atm) are promptly responded to, so it isn't a concern. I'm hoping the warmer weather helps them get in the mood. I am waiting for a specific colour morph though, so that might be hindering my prospects, although last I heard, Rob had three pairs of the colouration I'm after together. Fingers crossed

Seems like I've lost my ability to count. But how can it be 5 months when it's only the beginning of may? That would make it 4 months.

What kind of colour variations are you looking for, out of interest?

January, February, March, April, May - five? And they aren't born yet, and even after being born, wouldn't be ready for 3 to 4 weeks, so even if they were born today, it'd still be June.

And I'm after pied boys

I got my husky and agouti pair from him in Feb sometime, they were already 3 months old. I guess I got lucky as they were probably near enough the last ones left if he hasn't been breeding lately.

Well May hasn't really ended yet, so I wouldn't count it.

I didn't realise he bred pied? I thought it was just agouti and husky.

Had a look in my outbox, my first email to him was the actually the 27th of December, so May might not have started, but all of January should be included in my timeline

But yep, in theory he breeds pied - he mentioned having three pairs (not sure if he has more than that in his hamstery, but those were the ones he mentioned putting together) - except that they are refusing to make beautiful babies for him (and by extension, me!). I had hoped to be able to pick them up when I went for a conference on the 4th/5th of March, as it was in Bristol, so he'd only be an hour's detour. On the other hand, I'm moving in July, and will be about two hours closer to him then, so if they don't breed until after, that is also okay - you just know they are going to be ready the week I'm moving
