I need some help.

I got a pair of robo but then it always scare of me. The moment I put my hand in, they will run up into the house. Any idea or older thread can guide me to tame my robo?

Syrian still nibble abit regardless how tame is it. Don't worry. You can feed veggie to make it fat. About twice a week. Clear the remaining after 24hours. Then your syrian will grow in size very fast.

Haiz, my 2 robo really get scared of my but then once they got the sand pile to dig on, they don't mind touching them.

Syrian this days quite hard to find. Found some also in bad condition. Especially mid valley. Absolutely no the type as a pet. Breeding robos now. About to deliver soon. Bout after chinese new year if not mistaken.

Yes I will put of for adoption once the baby is ready to go to new home. Keep updated with the adoption thread. STRICTLY for pet lovers only. I don't want to give to some1 that will torture my robos.

Already expectating. My female robo now like a pear. Small head super fat body will pop out nipples d. If not mistaken, should be this week the delivery according to the observed mating.

Plan to keep a pair. Others I will put for adoption. I'm from klang and you have to self collect.

What breed of hamster is it? It is possible for that to happen. The cage might be to complicated and when the female/male got stuck somewhere and their partner might step of them will cause a fight. It happens to my winter white before but i manage to reintroduced them back after 1month.

I rare WW for so many years. Putting them together of never experience any fight before except once. Yes indeed the female and male will continue to breed provided there is enough nutrition and space around. Once my WW gave to 9 in a litter, the male stopping mating with the female. What happens is when the female are still feeding the babies with the male around wants to mate the female it will cause a fight and sometimes the female got stuck esp in bar cages and one of them step on them will also cause a fight. I saw it with my own eyes.

Ovo cage is nice for the hamster to play around but when it goes to cleaning it will be the worst part unless you're very free weekly to clean the cage.

Or create a S-shape wire. Get a plastic net. Make it like a pipe. Tie it then fit the bottle into the net. Then hang it with the S shaped. The net pipe should be slightly smaller than the bottle. So it can hold the bottle.

1. Drilling may cause the tank to crack.
2. Suction cups will leave marks.

Try to get robo or ww from breeder. I saw all the hamster condition at Mid Valley Pets Wonderland. Is so not worth buying. All in bad condition. They don't even remove the dead hamster and don't know when is the last time they clean the cage. I got one source of hamster mainly robo but bout one month once got the supply. All in good condition. PM me for the address.

Is normal when they start to open the eyes and the mother will start to ignore them. Robo will wean at 18days or so. They will have their solid food. So start to adjust the water bottle and give smaller piece food. Almost 4 weeks they can go to their new home but advisable not to do so.

You can train your hamster to be awake in the morning and it takes time. Try to play,fill in the food during the day. About 2 months they will be awake on the day. But starting your hamster might dislike it. My robo active during the day. Provided you have a cooling cage. A heaty cage makes them sleep even more.


Your hamster died due bad digestion. You must have fed something SHOULDN'T be fed to your hamster. I also experience once. Moreever already 2 years. Too much vegetable maybe. And your bottle might be poisonous. Have you check? Direct pipe water got a lot of chlorine. Long term consumption kills your hamster.

My robo are mostly like that already. I only did to a pair and the pups all follow the parents. Is like 5 years back. Before this the hamster awake at night also not really active. Cause me not there to play with them

To tame a roborovski needs time and patient. What you can do is filter all the sunflower seed out first. Add the remaining into the food bowl. Then slowly use your hand to feed it. DO THIS DAILY. If you skip a few days is useless. And please do give enough sunflower seed.

I use this tactic and my robo now slighty tame. Can be handle but it will never allowed me to grab it.

Robo can be tame. But then it take alot of works. Read my previous post. It can be tamed. Provided previously you didn't stress/shocked your hamster greatly. Once robo is 'super shocked", it still won't bite but then you will never hand the chance to tame then. Is almost impossible.
