Robo Hamsters (Roborovski Hamsters) are often referred to as Mongolian Hamsters, because Mongolia is their motherland. These hamsters are much more sociable than Syrian Hamsters. They are very fast, and retrieving a loose hamster can be a great challenge. Robo Hamsters are sandy-yellow on the back and sides and white underneath. They have distinctive white markings above the eyes. These creatures are very easy to handle and they make wonderful pets.
