I can’t imagine how a Robo would meerkat ha ha. I think they’re too round! They’d probably fall over. It’s an interesting point though - about hamster behaviour. I. The wild meeerkatting seems to be an attack pose to scare something or someone off. Whereas robos scurry and hide. Which is maybe why they do that so much in cages - their normal behaviour.
Robos kind of squat on their back legs to wash. Maybe they don't meerkat because they are so short, hehe or like you say, probably fall over, haha.

Yes, the wild meerkatting pose combined with hissing and paws up like a bear is definitely a threatening pose to get the opponent to back off.
