A tiny energizer bunny with a curious mind, Cassia is a sweet little thing. She once used to live with her sister who had been adopted out. Despite being the smaller of the two, Cassia was always the one leading the charge when the duo comes out at night to explore their surroundings in search of more food. Some say she is a natural leader, but others argue that she is just extra kaypoh.

Brave little Cassia is tame & when given some time to open up to you, she will not only be your cuddle buddy but lets you give her some head rubs. Tiny but mighty runner by night, she enjoys running the wheel like she would run a marathon!

She is waiting for her furever home that could offer her all the treats she deserve & lots of cuddles if you have any spare time for her

Things to note when adopting Roborovskis:

1. Adopters should make sure to get a glass tank/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 may not be suitable for children. Some may also nip/bite.

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

Requirements

Cage: min 90x50cm or bigger, unbarred

Wheel: 21cm or larger

Bedding: Any approved paper bedding

Food: Any approved seed mixes

Sand: Currently on Witte Molen Chinchilla Sand; any approved sand

Enrichment: A few hideouts, forages, sprays, etc

Ben Wyatt (Adopted)

Species: Roborovski

Gender: Male

Estimated Age: About 6 months

Likes: burrowing, running on wheels and everywhere, food, running to hooman

Dislikes: quick and sudden movements

Just like Ben Wyatt in the TV show, Parks and Rec, robo Ben is a calm hammo but loves to be around things and people he loves.

Ben was in the same cage as 5 of his brothers but got bullied by one of them. This does not deter him from being the loveable hammo that he is.

Ben likes to run on wheels and can do that the entire night. When he senses his fosterer near his cage, he will run to the entrance of the cage, anticipating some food.

He loves to burrow deep into his bedding. He likes dark and enclosed areas but he also absolutely will come out of his comfort zone and play with you!

Unlike his brothers, he is okay with being carried and held. That makes him the most cuddly robo you have ever seen!

Requirements:

Bedding: Thick bedding

Food: Fatpouches Standard or premium mix
