That is why its recommended to use tank as their cage setup as they have no means of biting it.

I used to use a metal bar cage...my hamster always bite the metal bar & the plastic which is part of the cage...then i changed to a 2ft tank...now he can't bite it already...

I dont have problem with my robo. They are not much of a biter even if I put them in cardboard box, they wont even bite it to escape. XD

My 1st pair of Roborovski juz delivered yesterday...
But sometimes the mother bring her pup running on the wheel...
I afraid it will hurt the pup...

Congratulation. Aw, looking at your pic reminds me when i have to take care of my cousin hamster robo. She was a first time mom and seriously, it drives u nut when she carried the baby on the wheel and fling them out the cage.

I took the wheel away though. and i dare not touch the pups so i put them in a very very silent, secluded area and XD They became full grown hamster. So cute.

Remember to feed the mom some hard boiled eggs. Dont change the cage though. the mom might reject the baby. You can search online on some help or you can ask me. I'll be glad to help.

@infernoaswen,tank is too heavy and so not convenient for me to carry around. i stay in hostel. and i go back hometown during the weekend. i need to carry them back as i cant leave them in hostel for the weekend.

@Ronald_loulan,congrats on the babies.

i scolded my boi and he acted all guilty. lying at a corner there. hmmph.. figuring a way to cover up the hole.

Nekochan,this morning i found out the 2 of the pups were dead...
Haiz,dunno wat happen...
But same as ur case,the mom bring to pup for a ride/put them at the wheel n run them over...
Dunno they can survive or not...

Added on December 31, 2011, 4:07 pmReila,my 2nd pair of Robo's did escape b4..
Im using a cage with wire at the mid section..
1 morning i saw them running around in the toilet n living room..
I was like "Wat? I locked the cage but how did they came out?"
I thought i had sleep walked n set them free...
But few days back i saw 1 of them squeeze through the wire section which were slightly wider coz last time i put the water bottle tips through b4...
The Robos r the true Escape Master...

aw man, i guess u have to throw away the wheel and if the mom is not there, take away the dead pup or if the mom will just eat it up later.

in the mean time, no sound or any disturbance. just feed more foods for them.

Until now, still nobody wanna adopt my 2 female winter white... SAD

NekoChan,I think no pups make through...
Didnt see any movement or sound today...
Yesterday oni saw 1 pup moving...
Haiz,i think this is her 1st time...

CyberHeross,she's too lazy lor...
Take her out n let her walk around...
She rest after few minutes of exploring...

Neko,I think oni 1 pup survived...
Yes, the father is still there...
Should i remove him??
Coz i found some info that father will help mom to take care the pup..

She's still that lazy ah?
Haiz...

By the way, it's best to remove the father once the mother delivered.
As he might cause her to get pregnant again...
You don't wanna end up like me having more than 10 hamsters at a time.

You have to remove the father. I remove the father when i knew she was pregnant.

Aw, only one survive...have to take good care of the last pup.

love this thread

Thanks Neko...
Will keep update about the pup....
