My Roborovski Hamster Tank



Mia in her sand



There is a lot going on in this tank. Remember that there are 2 hamsters in this cage and I have provided toys and wheels accordingly. Only dwarf and robo hamsters can be housed together. Although in pet stores you will see other types of hamsters together, such as syrian hamsters, this is only because they are young and have not yet claimed dominance. They will eventually create a hierarchy and hurt each other.  Try to have one wheel per hamster. If you can't do that you must have at least two wheels if you have more than one hamster in a cage. This should help avoid fighting. I love fiddle sticks (the rainbow sticks). They are great to create hideouts and tunnels. The two story house is also great. My little ones sleep in the bottom level everyday. As pictured above I have a sandbox for my Robos. They absolutely love playing together in the sand. I know I have said this time and time again but DO NOT use DUST only use SAND. If you use chinchila dust your hamsters will get respiratory problems and could die. Don't put your little ones in danger and just buy chinchila sand.
