Do it slowly. When you do it all of a sudden you will frighten them. I find the key to holding a small animal is to approach it very slowly.

That's why I say it's better to train them to walk onto your hand. Then you can just lift them up when you want to and t hey'll be less frighhtened cuz they trust your hand and your scent.

And do stick around this thread. We don't have too many robo owners here.
actually i've been raising them for a week only.. but i'm afraid about the case of inbreed, that's why i wanna make sure they're all MALES
i got bitten just now, when i tried to cup them.. at least two of them bite me

and both of them got frightened and keep running from me, like they were running for life... just like the day they came to me.. sigh
i've been tracing threads since 3 weeks ago in this topic, to refresh my knowledge about hammies. but i couldn't get myself a real clear picture of their sexing... i even look through the old versions but still cannot get the point.
i mean i do know how to differentiate hammies from male to female, but not on ROBOs. i used to raise syrians, unquestionable, their sexing mark is remarkable OBVIOUS.
anyway, i managed to check thru the 3 siblings, yet, still looks real similar. =.=
is that both robo male and female have a genital mark looks like "jj"?? i wonder how come all 3 got... i thought female should have "vagina"?? but they all have 1 anus only =.=
