Is my hamster a roborovski?
Hello!
I'm new to this forum, and was wondering if anyone could help me.
I bought a dwarf hamster about 6 months ago. Her name is Panda ❤
She is bought as a roborovski hamster. However, I seriously doubt that she is!
I've had dwarf hamsters before, and she doesn't seem to be smaller than them, to me. I also haven't been able to find her color with the robo breed. What are your thoughts?
I need to know because a shop sold me a cage with 10mm bar spacing, even though I was told it was 7.5mm. I'm nervous if she can go through the bars if she is a roborovski hamster.
I attached a picture and video of her.
Thanks for the help in advance!

Re: Is my hamster a roborovski?
She does look to be a pied robo. If you are concerned she may escape then you could put the cage in a large box so she is contained if she does get out or inside a secure pen until you establish if she can get out.

Hello!
Thanks for the reply! I currently have a box around the cage bars as a countermeasure. I consider meshing it if necessary.
You can see her a bit more clearly in the video I attached. I should mention that she is with grey markings, not brown. I'm unsure whether a pied robo can be grey?

Looks like my Niko and he's a roborovski! O believe robos are the ONLY dwarf not to have a dorsal stripe and if you look at her face there should be white markings above her eyes, like eyebrows ( and the face looks a bit fuller around the mouth looking a bit like a moustache)
