Robo Hamsters at Petland - Calgarypuck Forums - The Unofficial Calgary Flames Fan Community

Well normally i don't go into Petland because I don't like that they sell puppymill pets but i was in there the other day and they had something called Robo Hamsters.

They were flipping insane. They must have had like 25 of them and they were zipping around the aquarium and on the running wheels like mad. I have never seen any rodent like this. Not one of them were sleeping.

Is this a natural breed, or did they roid them up for entertainment?

Were they wearing snorkels or scuba gear?

Roborovskis (Phodopus roborovskii) or desert hamster is the smallest of all hamsters, averaging under an inch (2 cm) at birth, and (rarely) three inches (7.5 cm) during adulthood. Distinguishing characteristics of the Roborovskis are eyebrow-like, white spots, and the lack of any dorsal stripe (found on the other members of the Phodopus genus). The average lifespan for the Roborovski hamster is three (3) years, though this is dependent on living conditions (extremes being four years in captivity and two in the wild). Another "unique" feature of the "Robo" is that they are hypoallergenic, unlike many of their larger brethren.

Having rodents in your house is disgusting.

You only let Asians use the delivery tubes now?

The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long.

They live fast but short lives. Just burn themselves out.

Wow, I just looked on youtube and there are so many videos of hamsters dying.
