And I’m going to start a new world record category just for hammies - longest distance ran on a wheel per night. Documenting carefully for submission. Humble brag - He’s met and exceeded a smidge a US half marathon two nights in a row. Is it just me, or is that exceptional even for a robo? Also think the 6 mi average you hear for them is a little off. Feel free to share your Robos highest, everyone.
 
Great idea for a thread! Can I ask how much is a half marathon in the US? Amazing little robo! I wondered if this could be a thread for everyone who has a pedometer to add the hamster's record run times! If you're OK with that I could change the title?
 
13 miles! I don't know if it's a record or not, but it's certainly a very long way! reports vary, Some sites say 10 miles a night some say 20 miles a night, but there I don't think there are any exact figures for a record so we can keep a record here!
 
I think adding pedometer photos would be good too :-) Also started another thread linking this one, to alert others :-)
 
I can't remember! Just a google search and probably an unreliable article somewhere. Most articles are unreliable. I wonder if one of the nature programmes has reliable info.
 
Wikipedia says up to 6 miles a night. A vet page says up to 10km a night. petconnection.ie says they can "cover 100 miles in a night"! I'd like to find something scientific and reliable!

My Peanut ran 30211 revolutions on his 10 inch wheel. That equals 24 km/15 miles according to the calculations we have.
