Very very new to Robo's & forums

Just to say hi
What a great site especially for someone like me a real novice but willing to learn

I have been totally captivated by the Robo's and have spent hours on the net researching them. And of course buying the books, but I am sure i will learn more from you guys than I can from the books

I have been looking at the Cage Reviews to try to get the best cage possible for my two, Raindrop & Puddle, as I realise that the one they have is really not suitable, especially having seen the wonderful setups that you have on here

Hope to be around for a very long time and say hi to you all

Welcome to the forum raindrop. I love the names of your robos

They sound to be real little characters. Hope you will find the forum useful and looking forward to hearing more about your furry friends

Hi and welcome

I'm slowly realising how cute Robos are...I had never even heard of them until I joined here! Hope you manage to find the perfect cage

hello and welcome Raindrop!

robos have the sweetest faces and the most engaging personalities don't they?

And you have 40+ ferrets?? WOW do you show them? I'm fascinated. Do they all live together as one group? We would love to hear more

they live in groups and are great fun to be around, very loving and very very playful. I do rescue as well so we never know what or when we may get a call asking us to take in what can very often be a very sorry looking ferret. So far I have never turned one away,. I rehome only to suitable people and we never breed.

Yes we have shown, and judged them and they have many cups and rosettes, but win or lose we have always taken the best ones home

We have also raced them which is hilarious as they don't always go straight down, we had one that doubled back unseen by us and we were alerted by someone saying 'if you are looking for your ferret he aint down there, he's in yon marquee'

We got the robo's about 10 days ago after a little white mouse my husband found on our drive, died, i had nursed it for 4 days and it seemed to be doing well, so bought the Spelos and all the toys and bits and bobs as you do when you are a big softy like me. With the cage was a book with hamsters in, all varieties and a picture and potted history of Robo's, I was captivated and researched them on the net. So I just so happened, quite by accident , honest (not) to find myself looking at some, and somehow they just happened to find their way into a box and on their way home with me

As i'm not very computer techie I will try and post pics of them as soon as I can, both Robo's home and ferrets

And thanks for your interest, i'm hoping to learn more about you all too

That's great to hear that you feel very much about showing your ferrets as many of us who show hamsters feel - the ones you take home are always the best aren't they? win or lose

And also that you are happy to take in rescues too - what a great thing to do!

Hopefully you will soon get the hang of posting pics, we would love to see some of the wonderful zoo you have there
