Default New Member, Getting A New Hammy Today!

Hi everyone!
Im Ema, 17 and i've had hamsters since I was 7.
I've got a beautiful campbells russian hamster who is about 6 months old called Whisper, (but shes so tiny that we gave her a nickname of "Weeny One" and thats sorta become her proper name now :P).
I'm just on my way out to get my first Robo, although if they don't have any left in the shop i'll probibly get a male winter white .

Any advice for looking after Roborovski's? I've thoroughly looked them up on the internet so i think i've got everything i need to know, but any advice would be nice!
Thanks a lot!

Welcome to you Ema and great to have you with us. Robos are very speedy and small so be sure your cage is very secure. The do like company so it may be worth considering two of the same sex. Looking forward to meeting your new friend(s) and whisper too!

Hi Ema,

Robos are great. They are very small and fast and ever so cute. We've had ours since February and they are about a year old. I love to sit and watch ours eating and running in their wheels. Ours are quite tame so we take them out quite a lot and they run up and down our arms and legs.

They have really big personalities for such small animals. For example, Sprite, our little bully, will bite your fingers gently if she feels she has been out of the cage for long enough.

They are also extremely nosey for such naturally shy animals. If we go up to their cage and open the top we will usually see two little noses poking out of the nest. If we russle about in their food box they will come running out to investigate - greedy little things!

Best advice is to brave it and go for a pair, get them the biggest suitable cage you can find (ie that they can't escape from) and double up on wheels and sleeping areas to reduce the risk of territorial fighting. Just make sure that you get 2 males or 2 females as robos are the hardest hamster to sex due to their size.

Have fun with your new hamster(s)

Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone!!
They did have some robo's but unfortunately the woman who owned the shop said she was keeping them for herself . However, i did spot the CUTEST little winter white sat in a cage and bought him instead! .
He's very shy and timid at the moment but i'm sure he'll settle in soon!
Im thinking of the name Yuki, as he looks like a hamster version of this anime character...
