How long did it take you to tame your roborovski hamster?

Question

i wanna know!

Answer 1

I guess I was lucky, my robo bonded with me right from day 1. But for those with over expectations, don't compare a robo with a normal dwarf hamster. Normal dwarfs can be cuddled and held but robos are the most hyperactive and fast of all dwarf hamsters and are not meant to be held and cuddled.

They are by far the fastest moving of the hamster family, and indeed are rarely still, except when they are asleep.Robo hamsters are gentle and naturally docile but extremely fast! They rarely if ever bite but do wriggle - and if they escape they are difficult to catch, although repeated, gentle handling will calm them down somewhat. Since they are so wriggly, they are not generally recommended for anyone wanting a pet to "cuddle". When they are being handled, it is best to do so over a "playbox" or normal cardboard box from the supermarket. (If a Roborovski's hamster once gets loose on the floor it will be a major challenge to retrieve!) On the plus side, however, their temperament is reliably good; bites or even nips are so rare as to be effectively unheard of. As a pet to watch, busily going about its day to day existence, they are without equal.

Once you understand the above characterisitics of robos, it would make it much more easier to bond with your robos. Remember they are different from other dwarf hamsters and cannot be handled the same way.
