You need it to be 70 x 40 at the minimum, have you had a look at the cages people have recommended?

Thankyou guys, ive decided to get a robo hamster and this cage as suggested

Small Pet Cages ? Alaska Hamster Cage: Free Delivery on orders £19+ at zooplus!

That okay?

[HorseyMandz]

It looks okay but I'm not sure on bar spacing... or you could keep a Syrian in that cage Decisions, decisions. Syrians are generally more cuddly, while Robos are generally more for watching, if that helps your decision at all.

Thankyou is it possible to have the same relationship with a robo as with a syrian?

Alaska is great for a dwarf. Good choice

I've never had a robo, but I would say that a relationship with a syrian is a more tactile, cuddly relationship, but a relationship with a robo seems to be a more 'watching' relationship, however it is perfectly possible to get robos reasonably tame with perseverance

Thankyou very much guys, you've been a great help, im also going to save up to get this:

I think so... But it depends on the robo. You should probably research the species more before buying a pet if you're asking questions like this, there're a lot of differences between each hamster species and research is the only way to settle on which pet is best for you.

And the RSPCA guidelines say the cambridge is too small for a syrian by the way, so probably best to give them both upgrades... Maybe before buying another ham too.
