Introduction
When I first started looking into Roborovski hamsters, it became frustrating that there were almost no websites dedicated just to them. That's why I started this site. It's devoted to Roborovski hamsters, giving you all the facts and information you need to buy, care for, tame and breed Robos in one convenient place.
Roborovski hamsters (Phodopus roborovskii) are the the smallest and fastest of all hamsters, can live up to 2 to 3 and a half years, and are commonly kept as household pets. They are curious and easily startled, however very rarely bite. Although their suitability as pets is further diminished by their small size (4-5cm long) and speed, Roborovskis are extremely affectionate towards each other. Their social nature means that when housed together at an early age, they sleep in one place and indeed eat, play etc. together. On this website, you can find much of the information you need to know about acquiring, taming, housing, feeding, sexing, naming and breeding Roborovski's.
