Welcome to HC taylorisqueen

Russian hybrids do tend to be more prone to diabetes but it's really quite easy to feed a ham a sugar free diet so don't let that put you off too much, I think all pet shop hams are more likely to have health problems than breeder hams, it may be the case with neurological problems in robos too.
I've had health problems with hybrids & my Chinese ham that would probably have been far less likely to arise in breeder hams but I don't regret having any of them for one moment, they are such adorable little things so if you can't go to a breeder you can still have a lovely pet ham, you just have to be quite diligent with care & health checks.
