Roborovski Hamsters

Roborovski hamsters are extremely cute, tiny hamsters (around 2 inches long when fully grown) that like to live in pairs. They are much less common than Syrian hamsters & Russian Dwarf hamsters, but can usually be found in larger pet shops. You should buy either 2 boys or 2 girls from the same litter (if you bought them from different litters they would almost certainly fight; & if you had 1 boy & 1 girl you'd quickly be overrun with babies!). One of the main things to remember when buying these hamsters is that they need a cage specifically designed for dwarf hamsters or mice, as they'd be able to squeeze through the bars of a typical hamster ...  Read the complete review

I have seven of these little critters and I love them so much! My partner come back from pets and home one morning about 2 years ago claiming he had a pet as I was moaning I wanted one When I opened the little box there was two roborovski hamsters looking up at me with their cutest little eyes and my response after 'arrrrrrr how cute' was 'there a bit small aint they!' Well of course there small being the smallest hamster you can buy. We was told at the pet shop that they where two boys but a year later we thought either we are going to make a lot of money as its a miracle that a boy hamster has had a littler of 5 or either the boy at the shop has ...  Read the complete review

The Roborovski hamster is the smallest of all hamsters, growing to just 2 inches long, if not smaller at full size! The hamster is looked after in the same way as a normally hammy! Their cage needs to be smaller than a normal hamster cage, and a mouse cage is the best kind to have as the wires are closer together to ensure they don't squeeze through (if your hamster gets out, you'll never find it!!!!!!). And mouse food is best for them as its smaller pellets, we actually use normal hamster food but we wrap it in cling film and bash it with a hammer before giving it to him as the big pieces are way too big for him!!!! Tubes and a wheel are a good ...  Read the complete review

Roborovski Hamsters are small, cute, furry and friendly when they are given time to get used to people. I have had 2 of these cuties for a month now. They are the smallest breed of domestic hamsters. Firstly, you need to be careful when handling these guys as they are so very fast!! Drop them in a room and I don't think that you would ever get them back again as they would get under the floor boards or into some small hole and just stay there. My hamsters are just getting used to me. I started by putting my hand in their cage with some treats in it and gradually they began sitting on my hand. They now come to me no problem. They do ...  Read the complete review
