Biscuit is a speedy boi who loves and will probably get very round! Just like his brother Toast, he has loads of energy and never seems to slow down. A perky, food-motivated ball who really loves his own space and being left alone to burrow, scamper around, forage for food and chill out at his desert section.

Biscuit is a Roborovski, so he is quite the see-no-touch hamster as well. He really does prefer to not be held and can protest if you’d want to hold him. He is ok with being touched sometimes when you feed him with your hand. However he definitely does appreciate all the love, care and adoration for his very adorable self!!

Things to note when adopting roborovskis:

1. Adopters should make sure to get a glass tank/bin cage/acrylic cage that does not have bars as roborovski hamsters are smaller and can squeeze through the gaps.

2. 1/3 of the cage should be covered with sand as roborovski hamsters tend to become excessively ‘greasy’ when an appropriately sized sand area is not given.

3. A wheel that is minimally 21cm should still be provided even if they are smaller in size as compared to dwarf hamsters.

4. They are fast and might not be suitable for children. Some may also nip/bite.

5. Taming is not guaranteed, but possible with lots of patience, time and love!
