Answer 1

Hi!

This cage surely looks good but is not suited for a Roborovsky hamster because they are very active and run more than their bigger relatives, Syrian hamsters. A bin type cage or even a tan are more suitable for robo dwarfs.

When you buy the other robo be careful. If you want to keep them in the same cage you have to make sure that they came from the same litter. If they didn't is quite risky to buy the new robo because they will most likely fight, sometimes even to the death. Also, think well if you want a female or a male. If you don't want them to have babies than you have to make sure that the pet shop assistant is sure about their s*x. If not, you will end up being a successful hamster groomer:D.

srry but not really. Robos need a lot of space so I would suggest buy a bin cage. Or another cage to attatch to the one you have.

Also if you are getting another Robo, go to the same pet store and see if they have any left from the litter that you got him from. Because they do best with litter mates. If he is still young though it should be okay but be prepared to seperate them in the futare if something should happen and they start fighting.
