Koala escaped???

If she's a female she is capable of going into heat.The likelihood of getting pregnant however,not very likely.Still,not worth the stress and possible complications as I'm sure you already know!

Right, they are in seperate cages. All 6 have their own cages...
No babies! I'd like to mate white robos, especially Latte but I don't have the means to do so right now. 6 hammies is more than enough to handle, possible vet bills, space, etc.

Oh yes,so many risks involved with breeding no matter how much you plan.

Sorry, meant to say that I didn't know that they can sense the aroma of different species, typo on this cell phone

They are the same species

There does seem to be some misunderstanding about Russian hybrids, a hybrid is a cross between two similar but distinct species so you can't have a Campbell or WW hybrid, they have to be crossed with something to be a hybrid so are no longer a Campbell or WW, a Russian ham can only be a Campbells, WW or hybrid not more than one at once!

It sounds like he's had a taste of freedom and excitement and is looking for another way out! And is a bit miffed at being put back in the bin cage lol. He sounds like he is doing ok. They do give us some anxious moments lol.

I still think it's the water bottle from the photos. He could get onto the ledge just above the spout if he shimmied up the spout, which presumably he can reach. From that little ledge he could grab onto the black cord thing holding the bottle in place part way up, pull himself up and then grab onto the silver thing looping down that holds it in, then he's nearly at the top. They do have a habit of trying the same thing again, so see if he tries it again - but with the lid on it's not likely.

I haven't watched the video yet but I'll post another pic of water bottle out side his cage with a ruler next to it in a minute, the first pic of water bottle was a little deceiving in the way it looked, to show you how it would be impossible to climb

Wasn't aware of this but still a bit of misunderstanding, I was wondering if Koala could smell the scent of the robos coming in heat?

STAY TUNED FOR THE WATER BOTTLE PICTURES!

[cypher]

All hams are very sensitive to smells so they will be aware of each other & it's possible one species might find another species in heat interesting, who knows what goes on in their little heads but it wouldn't surprise me even if they didn't really recognise the scent for what it was it might be enough to get them excited
