I was rather taken by the Robo
I was in the pet shop chatting to the girl who works there that is very keen on the rodents and she offered to show me the three Robos that she'd reserved and my goodnesss, they were adorable. Her and the manager of the store have been working to get the animals as used to human contact as they can and these three little girls were more than happy to be held and interacted with.
My first love has always been for the Chinese and my next addition will be a Chinese but I'd be lying if I said that I hadn't fallen for their charms a little bit and I certainly wouldn't rule out having one in the future.
If these three hadn't have been already reserved I'd have certainly found it harder to resist the temptation to buy them.

Re: I was rather taken by the Robo
I can totally understand that. I really adore my little cuteies. There is something about their size and their expressions ...

Re: I was rather taken by the Robo
No. They had to be separated after wrestling. I was worried that it would escalate. They are litter sisters from a well known breeder and are absolutely beautiful. Flower and Fairy.
One in the alaska (Fairy) and the other in the grosvenor large rat and hamster cage.

Re: I was rather taken by the Robo
It sounds as though you came very close to bringing a new tiny fur ball home with you lol! I have to say I'm really impressed by your pet shop & their attitude, wish we all had such thoughtful caring shops as that!
Chinese & Russians will always be my first loves but I do still hanker after a little robo lol!
What are the chances you might bring someone home from the show today I wonder....

Re: I was rather taken by the Robo
They're pretty hard to resist. Wait til you come across a rescue one that needs adopting & see your resolve crumble

May came from that store although when I bought her they had different manager who was less keen on handling the animals. Thankfully the girl I chat to was working there and if it hadn't have been for her stroking May before I bought her, I don't think I'd have been able to either. She often asked after May.

I'm working today so won't be able to make the show.
I'm on Vectis' waiting list for another Chinesey so I will be getting a new addition at some point. My sister is planning on getting a couple of robos at some point so there will be times when I'll get to look after them.

My sister saw a rescue one whilst she was away in Cardiff and if it wasn't for her boyfriend reminding her that the hotel probably wouldn't allow her to keep him there for the rest of the trip, she'd have taken him on there and then.

Oh what about one of Apple's surprises from Truffle? I have no concept of the distance in case you're wondering.

What the hotel doesn't know won't hurt it . . . .

It would be lovely to have a part share in your sisters robo/s if she does get them & I know it will be well worth the wait for a little baby Chinesey from vectis

Maybe you'd seen me comment on one of the show threads saying I'd be going? I'm popping in to Bath next week although am not showing and don't know as yet about Dawlish.

They might be living in the Duna Multy that May lived in just before she died but that'll be down to my sister and her boyfriend and whether they decide to replace Sooty's cage.

I have to admit that I was tempted but Staffordshire is a little bit far for me to travel to collect a hamster, particularly on the train which could be quite a long journey.
