Getting a robo dwarf. have some questions.

Question

So, I'm getting a robo dwarf but I need help. How can I let it get used to me? And is it ok if me and my friend let our hamsters meet? We aren't going to put them in the same cage but and we but the cages like next together.?

Answer 1

yeah, that'd be fine

Answer 2

play with it every day and hand-feed it to let it get used to u.

and i really recommend that u dont have ur hamster and ur friend's hamster meet. i did this once, and they ended up fighting ferociously - my friends hamster got an eye injury and died soon after. and if ones a female, and ones a male, they could mate and have babies - not a good idea either. but, if u just put the cages next to each other, and DON'T let them meet, they'll be fine.

hope i helped, good luck :)

Yes you can put their cages next to each other but do not put them in the same cage as it will cause vicious fighting.

I have attached my hamster taming guide for your reference. Hope it helps you get used to your new hamster.

Guide to taming hamsters -

Taming your hamster can be a long process, don't expect your hamster to suddenly like be handled over night. It can take weeks or even months depending on the hamster. Here the the steps to handling a hamster -

STEP 1 - When you first get your hamster leave it alone for the first 2 - 3 days to let it get used to it's new cage and surroundings. If you pick him up on the first day itself, he will definitely bite you since you are a stranger to him.

STEP 2 - Once the hammy seems comfortable in his new cage, start talking to him softly and hang around his cage enough for him to get used to your voice and smell. After this time feed your hamster some treats from your hand so he get used to seeing your hand. This might take a few days to happen but be patient. If you feel that the hamster still bites you, you can use gloves initially.

PRECAUTION - always interact with the hamster only when he is active. If you touch him or disturb him when he is sleeping, he can get angry and bite viciously.

STEP 3 - Once your hamster seems confident with taking treats out of your hand you can try to start handling your hamster. Before you handle your hamster make sure you have washed your hands well. Hamsters have a strong sense of smell. If they smell something on your hand they may mistake it for food and decide to bite!

Get a cup or something similar and place it into the hamster's cage. He should come to investigate and crawl inside. Take the hamster and cup out of the cage and let him walk out onto your hand. While you do this make sure you're sat down or sat close to the floor incase your hamster decides to jump. Let him walk from hand to hand. Be careful you don't grab or wrap your hands around your hamster until he is fully tame as this may scare him and he will jump out of your hand.

STEP 4 - Once your hamster is more confident with you, you can start to pick up your hamster straight from it's cage. Just make sure your hamster is aware that you are there, if not you may suddenly scare the hamster and it may turn around and bite you.

Best way to hold hamsters is to make them climb into one hand and cupping the other hand softly over the body so that his head pokes out from the gap between your two hands. Remember, do not apply any pressure on his body, he will get scared and snap at you.

Answer 4

Yes that is fine....

Sometimes dwarf hamsters cant fit through the grates in their cages so they could end up in the same cage!!!

Answer 5

well first of i hope you know that robo dwarfs are extremely fast i almost got 1 but  the pet store employee couldn't even catch 1...they aren't very friendly but if you let them get used to you maybe they will be to you yes you cna put the cages near each other (although i suggest a 10-20 gallon tank because they can fit through the cage and possibly get a bruised long) and do NOT let them touch each other it might start a BIG fight and trust me when hamsters get in fites...onli 1 survives so they can be next to each other but not touching
