Answer 3

Hi Amanda!

We have a Chinese Dwarf hamster. Her name is Peanut. What did you end up naming yours? Paper shreds instead of wood chips I think is better for the cage. We have a house in there for her(got it at Walmart) and an exercise wheel(she loves!). Anymore questions, don't hesitate to ask! :-)  

Answer 4

Robo is short for its full breed name. It will need a wheel, but get a safety one, not a metal one. My hamster killed herself on a metal one. You can get a cage topper for the aquarium. It has tubes, so it will probably like it. Put a small cardboard box in the cage for it to hide in, or buy it a bed box at the store. If it is a male, it will have a large bottom. You will be able to tell. Or, if you go to petsmart, they will probably s*x it for free. My hamster was named Buttons! You should wait till you get it to see its personality. Then you will be able to make sure you give it a good name. Enjoy your new pet!  

Answer 5

im not sure what a robo hamster is it will have a dong if its a boy guy look like they just have a butt to me after brith feed lots of fruits and hard boiled eggs yes good names 10 gallons are good make sur if you have a hamster to use  bottle you can let it roll around in a ball in the house you can buy lots of stuff for it you can buy a leash to (things in cage tolliet paper rolls tunnels boxes etc.)aww its soo cute good luck hope i helped

Answer 6

You can tell if its a male or female verrry easily if its full grown. Just take a look. Please do not breed them. Most hamsters do not get along with each other. The male dwarf hamster that your friend has will most likely try to kill yours if it is female or male. If they do mate, you will have to separate the male from the babies, and then most likely the mother too because they'll eat the babies. Then, you'll have to figure out the genders of all the babies, and separate them, or you'll have hundreds of inbreed hamsters before you know it. Also, robo hamsters and regular dwarf hamster shouldn't interbreed, you'll have unhealthy babies.

The 10 gallon cage is fine. For bedding you can use carefresh, or aspen. I wouldn't use any other woods just because they can irritate the skin of your hamster. You can put a wheel, any hamster house you find in a petstore. You shouldn't be putting anything from outside in your hamster's cage, because it could be loaded with bacteria. Hamsters can eat all kinds of fruits and veggies, the petstore your friend gets the hamster at should give you a list of do's and don'ts.

If you do end up breeding them, but please don't, your pregnant hamster will eat the same things you'll be feeding her on a regular basis. No diet change is necessary. Just be sure to keep the cage very clean and change the food when it gets messy. Don't just add more.

My hamster's name is hamburger.  

Answer 7

Didn't you ask what kind of hamster that was already? And I answered it's a Campbell's Russian Hamster.

And, I told you, you can email me if you had any other questions.

Good luck, and congrats on the new hamster.

Answer 9

well it does not sound like you did a lot of research or you would know the answers to these questions i hope you do not breed the hamsters because honestly think you do not know what you are doing, whats going to happen to all the baby hamsters? dont you know that the parents will eat the babies? i think you should get to know your hamster before you put her through breeding. and glass aquariums are not good cages to keep hamsters in and 10 gallons is way too small. just do some more research and know what you are doing

Answer 10

ok, I looked at your hampster and I hope that all of the garbage I see in the pic is on the outside of the tank?  The glass aquarium will do but if you can go get a habittrails wire cage that is the best to put them in.  Max ventilation, plenty to climb on and they ussually come with things like wheels and dishes and water bottles.  You can put in Hampster safe toys, which are toys specifically made for rodents.  Don't just put in what ever toys you have lying around your house.  The dyes in the plastics can harm or kill your friend.  And why do you want to breed your hampster?  Do you know what you will do with the baby's?  You can't keep boys and girls together unless you want unlimited babies.  Here is a link to a site that will help you out.  also I have owned plenty of hampsters. http://www.petinfo4u.com/hamsters.htm
