I dunno, but i used the same method to tame my fren WW
I believe it work for robo as well.........

for robos i suggest u use the bribe and trust. Put a lot of food on your fingers and put your hand on top of teh shavings and temp your robos to come et it. Slowly everyday, put the food a lil higher up your hands until they climb onto your hand to get food.

When they're used to climbing on your hand for food, try lifting yor hand off the shavings a bit. If your robo gets frightened let it run back to the enclosure. Put your hand back on top of the shavings and try again.

Your robo will get used to the fact that your hand moves. I feel this taming trick to get your robo to clamber into your hand is very important. It enables quick removal of your robo from its enclosure if need be. and makes transporting them away for cage cleaning so easy. Why chase them when you can make them come to you?

i wan to make my WW cum to me myself...
:s

^ Well my robos and my syrians, and even bitey RCs respond to me using my technique. You can try lo. It's a bit time consuming but very useful and worth it.

But don't expect it to happen all in 1 day.

Love = patience + sacrifice.

Good luck!

if chase or catch them...
will it make my robo more afraid of me?

well it might happen. for robos that are often hand caught, they usually scramble whenever they see a hand.

will try to use ur method.....
got to get the big cage as soon as possible...

use a big tank. don't use cage. My robos don't chew but metal barred cages aren't good for any kind of hamsters. I would like to change to a tank but my mum won't let me.

agrees...but tank is quite expensive...so ill see how it goes...
at least ill give them a proper place to stay 1st....

another thing about getting a cage for hamsters...they cannot walk along uneven surface. Some cages come with those bars at the bottom...they're not good for hamsters coz their feet will just fall between the bars. Even if you find a cage without the bars at the bottom...there's still the "2nd floor" you have to think of. Tanks are the easiest because you don't have to worry about that, they can't chew the bars and they can't climb the bars.

I got my cage and fitted a cardboard on the "2nd floor" for them to walk on. But the ladder to the 2nd floor was too steep for them. I replaced it with tubes and they work fine now

Bolster having breakfast in his new home!

I wonder why they all like to sleep in toilet when they have a nice home. Same goes for my Pillow Puffie sometimes sleep in the toilet too but mostly under the rainbow bridge.

give them sometime. taming take some time.. it can be a week, it can be few mths..

good to know she start to settle down..

flipping is not sleeping.. they keep turning/flipping non stop..(like showing u a trikes, but its sickness :( (ppl should stop breeding hamster with this sickness. very pity).

er why newspaper :(

has him settle down in his new house?

LOL this is call TOILET TRAIN mah !!! WAHAHAH sorry i am joking but i really canot stop laughing.. they like to sleep in bowl.. thats why i get a big bowl too hahha..

Muahahahaha... Same goes to Nottie. She not only sleeps inside her toilet bowl, she moved all the hay into the toilet bowl to make nest & sleep @@"

Bolster did sleep under the rainbow bridge yesterday, so I guess he have found the new home. :) I think I want to buy more of those bridge la, but I think Petshack might have only 2 left...

Nezu, how do you define 'settle down'?

cos this is the 1st time they be alone, seperate from their little mate, some more in new enviroment. they will show very stress, like when u touch them, they scare. or they not eating much.. when u walk by they wake up from their dream.. so n so...

cos i see Bolster like don't bother much u taking photo while he is sleeping hehe.. and also eating.

you can pm or call jtl to oreder the bridge as long as the supplier got stock LOL...

Calling to all Penangites !!! Smoothie will arrive tentitatively on 13 Sep (Sat) so most probably i will go and collect for you all. Are you guys willing to collect from me (Queensbay Mall or my home @ mouse island) or do you guys want me to do a Penang 1 day tour? If we can keng everything ok then can bank in to Nezu and let her arrange lor ~~

We wantz smoothies !!!!!!

Pillow just eat and eat and eat only... Puffie a bit shy also... Now separated her from Pillow in another tank and she is more daring to explore. Think earlier she was afraid of Pillow.

Another thing, do you guys notice the fatsoso never stuffs their cheek pouch?
