Yes he has, I get more interaction from him than I do from my two gerbils.
Thanks, I guess it is....I went into this not knowing anything about Robo hamsters, so I didn't know they were a breed that didn't like to be handled. I just thought if I was slow enough and he wanted what was in my hand it would be fine.It is so special that you can handle him
With what I am learning about Robos I guess he is rather a special Robo.
You've done a grand job there. He is nearly out of the cage so many times! I hope there's a big cushion on the floor 
He maybe does want to come out for a change of scene possibly. I can't remember whether you said it was possible to set a playpen area up or not.
Thanks, Maz, I am working on getting what I need to set up a playpen for him. Mostly thinking about what could be a shared playpen between Dusty and the gerbils.....separate times of course.....never together. I would love to set up a card table (because it is hard for me to get on to the floor.) with some sort of playpen on a card table for Dusty to play in with interactive items. However, I don't know what I can put onto that card table for the playpen. I don't think I would need any tube/bridge from his home to the playpen as I would have it right next to his home and I could easily move him from one to the other since he goes to my hands readily. I have looked at the Hexagon shaped fabric playpens. Not loving them but would probably due for a supervised play time. I have personally never seen Dusty chew on anything and I have many things for him to chew on in his home. So I don't know if he would try to chew on a playpen of that type.It's amazing how lovely and tame he is
His adventures are all still within his enclosure. I am working on setting up a play pen area for him.
Thank you so much! I had no knowledge about hamsters when I got him. I had not idea Robos were not really that friendly. This forum has taught me everything I know about Dusty and I so appreciate it as information online is not always the best. I had no idea Dusty may not be able to be tame. I just did what I would have done with any hamster. But it was the information here that helped so much, like leaving him alone in his new home for about a month before trying to tame him. I would have started right away, but I didn't, I waited and I think that made a big difference. Maz was a tremendous help with information on Robos. Thanks again!
Dusty is adorable. It's tricky isn't it, working something out. I did have a playpen at floor level and would sit on a chair next to it and bend forwards, but that might not work for you. I imagine some sort of enclosure on top of a low table would work. With my robo I had a very large cardboard box!Oh wow, Dusty was a joint winner!!! I had on idea....thanks for letting me know. And thanks for the suggestions on the playpen ideas. I will send photos when I have whatever I decide all set up.Congratulations on being joint winner in the photo competition
