  • Here's a short clip from BBC programme 'Wild China', Beyond the Great Wall.
    It shows Roborovski hamsters, the smallest and fastest kind of hamsters, in their natural environment. Fascinating to think, appearance wise Robo's haven't changed a bit since they were discovered and bred in captivity over 100 years ago.
    Video copyright BBC.

    They made a whole TV series about Meerkats. Why can't I have more than 2 minutes about Roborvskis?! Oh well- at least it's BBC quality.

    this makes me want to make my robos cage more natural looking like their wild cousins home. this shows that hamsters need space. they travel so much in the wild that a tiny cage is horrible

      TearLilyd totally! Both of my winter white dwarf hamsters live in 110 quart bins which is really only 30 square inches over the minimum but it's still way better than a critter trail!

      PetCo usually has sales twice a year for their aquariums. I got a 75 gallon one for my hamster. I also put in dig boxes with dirt for her but I know what you mean I always wanna give more because I want her to be as happy as a little hamster can be. 🐹

    I made my 7 Robos watch this because they are spoiled and think they are entitled because they do not have to hunt for food since they have a slave to feed them and bring them delicacies to snack on!!! They also like to run past my hand and bite it for fun!!!

    • @Aisha-721
      @Aisha-721 Před 2 lety +1

      @The Spaghetti Eater some hamsters can't stand each other-especially Syrian hamsters 🐹. They will fight each other to the death ☠️. That kind needs live by itself and is likely to draw blood if you have 2 of them together.
      With the the others including robos there are factors that will determine whether or not they can live together such as cage size and if they knew each other as pups. When housing multiple hamsters 🐹 you should have an extra cage in case they fight and you have to separate them.

      @@khricket that's where PetSmart buys their small animals. They are one of the worst places to get a pet. Adopting a pet is the best way to get a pet since so many need homes. Another good place to find a pet is a reputable breeder.
      They handle the 🍼 babies and their mothers daily, give up well deserved sleep 💤 to raise rejected and orphaned 🍼 babies and take the animals to the vet.
      They're not in it for the money 💰 like the 🐕 pet mills and they treat the animals a lot better.

    Wikipedia notes about the BBC filming for this episode, "Bamboo rats and Roborovski hamsters were filmed in subterranean burrows with glass side panels in a studio set."
    Dag... I guess that's why it's kind of discontiguous with the initial landscape. They continue the sound of the wind in the background to kind of help the transition- but I think most of the dwarf hamsters were just filmed in a studio.

    My 5 Robos have a 55 gallon tank for them to live in. they have a rock dish for water, and their food is hidden inareas where they have to sniff it out so they can keep their senses strong. They all made a burrow in the sand kind of bedding, I forgot what it's called but my neighbor gives it to me, I forgot the name though. One time I was cleaning their cage and found a huge food chamber, full of food from just a week ago. P.S. My robo's are tame and have a wheel, even in their natural setup.

  • @Nasuto1702
    @Nasuto1702 Před 3 lety +7

    Interesting. In the wild, roborovski's live in family groups, yet as pets they are always reccomanded to live alone cause they attack each other. And they do. Ive had robirovskis. They do not go well with each other. They are best to keep solitaire

      ​@@4Corry2 years late, but they live in companionship in the wild for survival but in captivity since they do not need to group up to increase survival against predation, they have little tolerance for other hamsters and thrive by themselves bcs they don't need to reproduce for the population either
