Roborovski Luuurve
Bashful and Itchy wrestle like this and do robo-kissy-kissy greetings. They are not lesbians, however... has this film been speeded up? These tiny tubbies are pinging extraordinarily fast! Also they're tubbier than Itchy and Bashful; Spherical, however is of their rotund build, hence her name...

Roborovski Circus
This is far more typical of robbie behaviour... I don't know whether Grandfather Robo below is just naturally calm or on drugs but I've never seen a roborovski act quite so laid-back!
Extraordinarily Tame Grandfather Roborovski
This robo is 3 years old, which equates to 65 years + in robbieyears... he's obviously extremely tame and used to being handled. Roborovskis are unusual in that, unless accustomed to handling at a very young age (and I do mean young ~ 3, 4 weeks or so) they won't generally grow up to enjoy being picked up etc. Of my three, Itchy is the only one who will willingly walk about on my hands etc. Even she doesn't particularly like the action of being picked up and the other two hate it. Spherical is so suspicious of me sometimes she panicks in sheer terror the moment I put my hand in the tank ~ sometimes ~ (that is quite ordinary roborovski behaviour by the way, these are very flighty little critters and though extraordinarily cute will not normally make suitable pets for young children who want an animal that will play with them. Roborovskis are highly sociable and perform all manner of entertaining climbings, diggings, washings, wheel-runnings etc together. Each time they meet they perform a "kissing" greeting which looks really funny... But they much prefer the company of one another to human company.) At best my robos are tame enough to let me stroke them while dozing or sleeping (don't ever poke a Syrian hamster in its sleep though! Deep sleepers, they are grumpy when awoken in the day and will gnash their teeth and may well lunge at you and bite!)... anyway here's the film. Enjoy!

Leona Lewis Bleeding Love Roborovski Montage
Somebody out there obviously loves Leona Lewis as much as their trotterovski hammies... to all you in America who didn't know who she was until she hit number one in your charts, Leona Lewis is the only British talent show winner whose voice I really like... click here to see a cracking rendition, Whitney-style of I Will Always Love You...

Cute robohammy climbing all over hand
(they're only doing this to get out. even Spherical climbs on me like this if she thinks she will get out of a boring plastic tub!)
My roborovskis' holiday home
this film called "new hamsters in new cage" shows exactly the same set up mine live in at weekends
