Re: No sense of smell?>
I think its highly unlikely for a hamster to have no sense of smell. You've only had him for 12 days so he is still settling in and Robos are so tiny that they eat very little. You could give him some linseeds as a treat. They are tiny seeds and healthy. He may sniff out food below the substrate surface when you are asleep.
I have a Robo and have never even considered trying to toilet train him because he pees so little that it seems to evaporate and in deep substrate its almost impossible to locate his peeing places.
What is sun butter? If its peanut butter its very high in fat and not that good for hamsters anyway so i wouldn't worry about that.
Why did he get freaked? Best to avoid stress because it can affect a hamster's immune system and Robos are very sensitive and shy creatures by nature.
