Re: Hello!:)
Hello,
I'm sorry to hear about your fiance's cat (18 is such a good age though). Your new hamster is a Roborovski. Hopefully the vet visit went well. Robos are usually quite healthy hamsters.
A good housing option for a Robo is a glass tank. Since you are in the US, 40 gallons or bigger. Barred cages can work but need fairly narrow bars and I know large barred cage options are more limited in the US. Robos need at least 6 inches of bedding for burrowing, a sand bath, 8 inch/20cm wheel and lots of clutter (tubes, hides etc) rather than open space as they are skittish.
