that is a genetic disease, called flipping.. very common among Russian Campbell hamster.. i had one RC with this condition before.. this is absolutely not cute at all, becos it's a genetic disease n becos they cant control it.. avoid buying & breeding these hamsters, cos we dun wan more of this disease out there..

When you say it like that the whole clip became uncute and in fact, looked pitiful... The poor things... but they look so fat~

ya they look obese.. maybe they are.. sad, i witnessed my RC flipping n hitting her head on the tank floor everytime.. of cos it looked like some stunts they 'perform'.. but if we know that it is a genetic deformity, we wont be amazed anymore.

Like I said, it qon't be cute anymore. It'll immediately be transformed into sadness and pity.

BTW, I duno why but I notice that my robos are picky about their partners. With certain males they don't breed or breed very few times. With some, it's the opposite. So I have a kind of population control in my place. No idea why it happens. (Just for the record I don't do inbreeding).

my female robo

robo n ww

2 lovable creatures..
btw, whr can i get hams fence, bcoz both of them like to play outside..

by saying that do u mean the female reject breeding or it was infertile breeding? wat i know & read is tat robos are hard to breed, n they're choosy bout their partners.. dunno how true is this cos i've not experienced breeding robos yet..

I think it's female reject. They are hard to breed and are choosy of their partners, so I never had any overpopulation or inbreeding (I don house siblings together unless same sex). I notice most female robos don't like partners who are younger and smaller than themselves.

smaller meaning body size? haha robos r such funny creatures lah.. so fussy to get a 'husband'..

Crazymouse posted about breeding robos last night at 11:30pm. Guess this shows that you people don't read the threads properly and ask again?

One fact to add on. Obese wasnt came frm flipping. Flipping and obese totally diff. If flipping was so bad until the hamsters cant control themself, the result should be = hamster became more skinny, n not chubby.

Robo chance to breed with smaller size or younger than itself are less thn 50%i guess. Robos are similar to Rcs. What i witnessed frm Rc is that the female wouldnt get pregnant "SO FAST" if in the same tank with younger male. But situation inverse when i put in a older male. This experiment explain it all.

JUST TAKE THIS AS A REFERENCE. I DIDNT SAY 100% RIGHT.
