Just goes to show that some staff shouldn`t be anywhere near animals if that`s the advice they are giving out. Rather than being positive, it`s all negitive with no real knowledge of the species. Robos are fast, don`t particularly like handling but some will sit on your hand if they are tame enough. The aggression thing can sometimes be cage aggression and they see anything as a threat that appears within their cage space! My robo sometimes makes a dash for my hand but I play a game with him of cat and mouse and he`s just a little unsure really. I leave him alone most of the time and spot clean around him while he chooses to run around and get in the way! But it`s the way he likes things. I don`t see it as `aggression`, I see it as him telling me in his own way that I`ve invaded his space! Which is all it is really.
If you take on a pair, all you need to ask yourself is:
1. Do I have the space for a second tank/cage if I need to seperate?
2. Do I have two of everything for a pair to share like wheels and some open ended accessories?
3. At the end of the day, seperation isn`t a bad thing for the robos, it can just be a frustration for the owner!
I kept a pair of males in the past that needed splitting up which I never wanted, so I only keep the one these days to prevent the same thing happening. But that`s not to say a pair will always need seperating, although it does tend to be a common occurance.
Try not to listen to bad advice in shops but it sounds as though you know more than they do anyway!
A robo wanted.
My current male robo oroginated from there and he was six months old when he eventually ended up living with me having been in a private home, taken back to PAH and then adopted by a lady for her young son. She also purchased another younger robo to live with him and within 24 hours, they had to be seperated because Rocky (my lad) attacked the youngster.
