Hello all, I bought a 3 month old Roborovski hamster yesterday. I think he's male, but haven't had a good look yet, and I also think he's an agouti. I've kept countless small furries since childhood, but I've been without one for over a year now, since my chinchilla passed away. I've had Syrian and dwarf hamsters before, but Obie is my first Robosovski. His full name is Oberdhal Bobbleknob 
I expected him to move like lightning and be terrified, but he seems very confident and laid-back. I think he might even be handleable already, but I'm going to give him 2 weeks to settle into his new home before I attempt to pick him up. Woke up at 5am yesterday and didn't go back to sleep as I was so excited to be getting him! Been awake since 7am this morning just watching him and talking to him

Ooh this all sounds very exciting! A laid back robo (they do exist). I absolutely love his name - we've had a few like that before! I've had two robos before and found them to be great little communicators, via looks, behaviour and body language. Mine would sit and listen for long chats or get my attention if something had gone wrong (ramp toppled over). He will probably do some zoomies at some point!
