Hamster teeth grow continuously throughout their life so they should be provided with chew sticks to prevent them from becoming over-grown.

Roborovski Hamsters are one of five types in their species. Robos are the smallest of the dwarf hamster family, staying at or less than a third of the size of the Syrian variety, and are much more active. Because they tend to be more energetic than other dwarves, they are also more difficult to tame. They for sleep for most of the day and are mainly active at dawn and dusk. Robo hamsters especially love an exercise wheel, run-about ball and anything else they can use to expend their energy at the beginning and end of each day. To provide your Robo Dwarf some more room to scurry, consider picking up a hamster ball and letting them run around a pet-proof and level area.
