They are nocturnal. That is why hamsters are more active at night and sleep during the day. It's their natural sleeping habit.

Robos are very timid. It's normal that they try to run away from your hand. Some will bite to escape.

Robos are the hardest to tame. Robos still can be tame but takes longer period of time.

Lol dude relax.

Heres a song for you.


Just let Bibo be calm with the new environment. It may take a long time.

Just relax. And always let it smell your smell so it can be tame with you. i read it somewhere.

okie dokie....!

Hey there. My hamsters took about 3-4 weeks to get used to me and my room so don't rush things. They will get used to you eventually just give them time. Now (its been about 8 month) they are not scared at all if I open the cage to refill their seeds, used to my smell I guess.

Hope that helps! - R.S.

TQ!!!

But even if I look at them at nite... Around 1am to 3am... They'r sleeping!!! Sleep so much!
Timid?? NO wonder... N they are NOT friendly... Guess Robo is not the best type of hamster for me... But I'll still love them. Cuz they look the cutest!!!

Im having doubts about my Hammie Breed.

Can anyone or any hammie sifu's out there double confirm what kind of brred is my hammie?

I did some research its a Campbelli (Phodopus campbelli) Breed

It does bite when my hand goes inside the cage to fetch them, but once they are on my hand they are ok. So just wanna know if any of the Hammie experts out there can help me identify which breed they are.

They have a long nose, eye slightly reddish similar eye like albino animals.

attached with are the pictures of them









I was told that this is a Panda Hamster? Got such breed? I previously owned a winter white and they died of age Now after seeing these hammie, i decided to go for it again. The shop clearly said its a Panda Hamster but when i do my research nothing much specific info i can find about them.

Hopefully can help me identify what breed are they.

Thank you in advance.

So cute wish I can keep one, but scare no time take care of it

looks like syrian to me... but the color is pretty rare for a syrian... haha...

pet shop alwiz often simply name the hamster breed... i've seen mini hamster, dwarf hamster, roboski, etc....

how old is ur hmaster, hmm this color can most probably a syrian but small size

If its a syrian, hmmmm they are selling at i think same price as WW and put a separate sign saying its a Panda Hamster. And syrian in a Different place.

Both of them is at approximately 3 mths old.

But i dont think a syrian have a Red Colour eyeball as all the albino have.

Your hamster is Black Spot Russian Campbell.

wow..angelbratz i like the color of your hamsters...

issit painful when they bite?
i become phobia of handling Toby...so scared... wherenever i caryy him, my palms will go sweaty... huhuhuh...

saying to myself quietly..."don't bite me...don't bite me.."

Hehehe...Thanks.

Well they dont bite me that hard. But they only bite when i want to pick them up to my palm.

But once they are on my palm, they dont bite anymore.

Maybe gonna give them some time to let them recognize me then they let me pick them up.

It depends if it a nibble or a bite.

Hamster bite will be painful. Sometimes puncturing into the skin and bleed. Biting could be a defensive move/instinct. Nibble is to test if it is edible.

Hehehe.....Yeah....

Nibble....They do nibble on me also at a point where i want to pick them up. I let them nibble on my top side skin, not my inner palm just to satisfy them or let them recognize its me... But got few times they bit me hard...but...i think my skin too hard....Hahhaha....

hmm....Toby also almost like that...sometimes once he is on my palm he doesn't bite oredi.... other times, he'll just bite me....

mayb i should say nibble... becoz so far...he bite me, only once got a biiiiit of blood...

but that day, when i was away during CNY, ask my fren to hamster-sit Toph and Toby....her father got bitten by Toby until got blood come out....huhu so scary~ that's y i feel scared..

but my room mate said, kesian Toby becoz of my fear, cannot sayang2 and pet Toby as much as i do with Toph... huuu...~

I think your hamster is syrian one larr..but the colour a bit different.

It's a black spot (mottled black) russian campbell hamster. Not syrian hamster.

See here to see the similarities of the RC:

Compared to the syrians here:

Don't have syrian hamster characteristics also. 3-4 months so small in size compared to a 3-4 months old syrian. Very huge difference.
