Dont get me wrong, I dont mean colorations. I mean type. So, all Winter Whites are consider dwarf? Some can grow pretty big.

The smallest dwarf species is Robos... they are the miniatures of all dwarfs. Winter Whites and Russian Campbells are dwarfs, same as the Chinese dwarf hamster.... and yah, they are obviously bigger than robos lah but they are smaller than Syrians. WW, RC and Chinese hamsters all got the dorsal stripe running down the spine.... only the Albino, Black Eyed White and certain other colours lack in the dorsal stripe.

Greetings to all experts and fellow forumers,

I just got a free Male Robovoski from forumer itssg. He was kind enuf to let me give a go at keeping this cute hammy. I was told it has about 1 year left, so hope to let it enjoy its time here. But, will learn more from u guys and gals here. Currently, i wanna ask, do i need to encourage it to drink water ? coz i fitted the bottle there, it did drank some water yesterday and friday, can hear it drinking from the bottle and the sound of the ball bearing. But, today it don't want. So, i took the bottle and put it near its mouth, then it keep on drinking. When i put it back to the holder, i ran there and drink. So, I was wondering, do i need to encourage it to drink ?

THe rest of the stuffs, looks ok for it.

By the way, there's some hammy smell in my room now. haha, will it cause any bacteria build it ? I mean from the odour. I do keep the cage clean every 3 days, today was the 1st cleaning. Other than that, all seems ok.

Also, temps between 20-35 is it ok for it ?

Anyone knows where I can get a small metal stainless steel food bowl like the size of those chili plastic plates ?

Thanks for all the advices and tips in advance.  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

Hahaha, i think rodents are all smart to look for water source themselves. Even normal house rat remember water source from tangki so they won't die of thirst. When they are thirsty they will instantly run back to the last place they had water. If there's no water they will die at that very spot due to thirst later :/ Correct me if i'm wrong.

So don't worry too much. Make sure there's plenty water around and they will drink. That's wat forumers told me before so I'm telling you the same.

Cheers,
