That could be difficult to climb up - robos aren't great uphill (some have furry feet/soles).

I think they generally prefer cosier things maybe in terms of house height roof but a house should be fine. As I mentioned before I had a large cork log for our first robo and he used to spend ages inside it scratching bits off, and climbing over it. I think anything enclosed feels fine for them though - as long as they can get in and out easily.

The Syrian Rodipet labyrinth house again, the top entrance may be too high for a dwarf or robo to get out of.

Do you have photos of individual items?
Thank you for your help. Yes, I can now see the Rodipet Syrian hide is likely too big. The ceramic hides I have are the same kind of size too. I will try to get the Rodipet dwarf hide set.

This is the ceramic hide I have:

I was going to put it on a platform to ensure it does not squash a hamster.
