Unfortunately most of the critters themselves are nocturnal and sleeping so I will post pics of them later but here are their new homes. In the meantime for those who have never seen them these are robo hamsters:

They are half the size of a typical dwarf hamster.

My roborovski dwarves got a big upgrade over the weekend with larger aquariums that will mimic desert conditions. We used handy sand and I have a bunch of limestone rock left over from my marine tank that I will clean up this week. For now they have plenty of toilet paper tubes to hide in and we stuck their running balls in there temporarily until we get storage setup under the cages because the dog kept trying to take off with them.

Here's the new driftwood and rock house in the big cage that houses my breeding pair:

The smaller cage for a single male who's waiting on a mate:

The sugar gliders are getting an 8'x4'8'h cage. It's half completed now but the room is a mess. They are currently rotating between that little cage in the corner and the bigger cage we got with a trio.

I hope to hook a webcam up to broadcast the entire thing when it's done. If anyone can suggest good wide angle web cams for $50 or less let me know. I've posted this pic before but until I get more pics of the actual critters uploaded here's a glider in their bigger cage.

I owned these back in the early 90's had a breeding pair, woke up one morning to only a female and a headless male! YUCK!!!

They used to be called dwarf hamsters around here anyway and just recently have they been given their "proper" name in the stores locally!!
