Maybe someone will come up with an explaination.

Great to see him so active which also answers your question regarding his set up. I'd say that he's very comfortable in there.

Oh wow. I did not know this was a robo behaviour. It was like he was trying to dig through the stand. I assumed he wanted the wheel moved so I put it forwards a little so he can go behind it.

Thank you so much for saying he is comfortable. He always looks so happy and busy.

That's funny! Both my hamsters had the same behavior, oddly enough in the same spot of the same bin. They had an unshakable belief that the corner of the play area led to something amazing with just a little more digging.

Cloudy he looks great. I've never had a robo, but that is one comfortable and happy hamster. It's really clear he feels secure in his home.

How cute your hamsters would dig in the same spot of the same bin. Thank you so much for the reasurrance. Its really nice to hear.

Orko's little ears move when he drinks from his water bottle! I did not notice this before. It is so cute. Here is a video. He disappears for a few seconds but comes back.

Robos ears seem to have a life of their own. It's ever so cute the way they can twitch them.

It really is so cute. I love watching what Orko gets up too. I have my breakfast while watching. Better then watching a film.

Orko has been with us for 2 months today! In this time I have learned his favourite things are tofu, his wheel and drinking from his water bottle then going to his water bowl straight after. He hates one particular seagrass hide so I removed it. Here is a cute picture of him drinking from his bottle. I love how his little legs look.

I know what you mean. Robos have such cute furry little feet.

They really do. I think he is the cutest little bundle ever.

I have a clip of Orko using his dig box. He really likes aspen. He slips on the grape vine wood so I have asked my partner to make him a kind of ramp instead.
