I just got 2 male robo dwarf hamsters today and according to petsmart, they just arrived at the store today… Are they a certain age when they are put up for sale? Obviously these 1s are babies but how can you tell if they are less than 6 months or more than 6 months… Are they born with teeth because 1 is sleeping right now and i see only 1 small tooth.

Roborovski’s will begin to pigment and after 6-8 days, you will start to notice little hairs on the pup’s bodies. By 10-12 days, the babies will be covered in short hair and their eyelids will be starting to develop as well as their little ears.

At this point, they might begin to wander around the cage a bit, but don’t worry, the mother will bring them back to the nest if she feels it’s necessary.

When the Robo’s reach 14-16 days old, it is safe for you to handle them.

At 4 weeks, it is time to seperate the pups from the mother and the females from the males (although it might be incredibly hard, do your best and see the sexing page for help). Keep the Robo’s in their seperate sex groups for another 2-3 weeks before selling them.

At 6-7 weeks, the hamsters are now fully independant and are ready to go to their new homes.
