Advantages: Very cute, inexpensive pets

Disadvantages: Very fast so have to be careful not to drop them

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 nibble slightly on your fingers but they are not actually biting and it doesn't hurt. They love their exercise and for this they have a wheel and I've got a couple of balls that is safe for them to be put in and left to run around the room until their hearts are content.

I buy hamster muesli food from the pet shop and a bag that cost me £2 is still going strong now. They eat very little, I tend to give them a small amount of fresh lettuce or carrot every day but only a small amount. I also change their water every day but again they don't drink that much.

In their cage, I have put in some sawdust, some cotton wool type bedding (especially for hamsters) which they like to burrow in, a small elephant house that they also like to hide in and some wooden toys for their teeth.

In summary, these are very cute, funny, friendly and inexpensive pets to own.

Summary: This is a fun and cute pet to have that is also inexpensive.
