Roborovski Hamster Play Time!
Hello Hamster Friends!
This week I wanted to share a little about how I'm working with my Roborovski hamsters, Steven and Sofia.
If you are interested in robo hamster taming, hamster taming steps or robo hamster care, I hope this vide is helpful to you! I believe that out of cage time for hamsters is incredibly important in building a relationship with your hamster.
It can also give your hamsters new and exciting experiences so they feel happier and more enriched.
Please monitor your hamster's behavior, if they look frantic or are too scared, bring them back to their home. It is normal for your hamsters to be scared the first time they come out of their cage or are in a new area for the first time. Keep initial out of cage time short so they can build confidence over time. Ensure that any trip out of their cage is filled with hides so they have somewhere to go if they are feeling nervous.
For Roborovski hamsters in particular I would advise using a playpen like the one shown that has a full bottom to ensure your robo cannot escape through a small crack on a DIY wall. Robos are so fast and very nervous, it is best to take caution to ensure you don't lose them!
