TheRollingRobos is a club for Robos founded by Scott Aloysius Roborovski.
Scottie to his friends.

Other species are welcome.
Humans by appointment only.

The club members meet up to talk about life from the perspective of a hamster.

Good evening my dear fellow Robos and other species, may i introduce myself.

My name is Scottie and i'm a Robo in his prime. Well, ok, i'm 15 months young.

I used to live with uneducated humans who expected me to spend my whole life living with my brothers. How absurd is that?

I had been with my annoying brothers from the day i was born until we grew up and left home. I was ready for my own territory and so were they but the humans made us share.
How would they like to spend their whole life in one small flat with their siblings.
We tried to get on but we weren't happy. In fact, life was quite stressful.

The humans gave us one communal food bowl and one day one of my brothers took a sunflower seed i saw first and i wanted it.

We had a squeaking match that escalated into a fight my other brother also got involved in. I'm going to save you the grim details but it wasn't nice.
The humans came to check what all the squeaking and screeching was about and were shocked that cute little creatures like us, their words not mine, could turn on each other like that.
And then they made us homeless instead of giving each of us their own territory to live in.

Each one of us was taken to some kind of detention or was it adoption centre and thrown into a cell with a huge window. No proper nest, a glaring light, a jammed wheel, an old carrot, some food and water and that was it.

It was loud and scary with little humans banging on my window, dogs barking and noisy humans shouting when i wanted to sleep.

Then it all went quiet and i listened to my neighbours getting up, tried to get some exercise and had some food but next day it started allover again.

Life did improve for me and i will tell you about this at our next meeting.

In the meantime it would be lovely for other Robos to join TheRollingRobos club and introduce themselves.
We do accept members from other species so please, do feel free to join.

Hello Scot you had a bad start. My name is Orko and I am 8 months old. I had a home but then I found myself in a big scary place. It was always light and my wheel was very small. I hardly ate as the food was not up to my standards.

Shortly afterwards the human there chased me all over my home and I was put in a box and brought to a new home. Can you believe that? 3 homes at just 4 months.
 
Great thread!

Hello Scottie. Pip here. I am also a robo. I have no idea where I came from! Everything was a blur and I ended up in a rescue with a lot of other hamsters. I quite liked it there but I hadn't been there long when I came to my new home. Everyone kept saying I must be a runt because I was so teeny tiny. Well I'm not a runt, whatever that is, and I showed them because I am now bigger and fluffier (I have a good hoard of sunflower seeds).

I loved my new home - it was huge and I had loads of things to do. But I didn't like the human putting her hand in my cage so I would run and hide. The human is only allowed to talk to me if the door is well and truly closed. I will sometimes sit and talk to her on my shelf - on my terms.

Then I got a bit bored. Then one day some kind of ceramic bulldozer came along and made a big mess in the middle of my cage trying to find where I was peeing. I wasn't scared but was slightly annoyed. I came out to see what was going on and there was a huge crater in front of my house. I walked into the ceramic thing and whoosh - I was out of my cage! And in a big open area with one of my hides in it. I ran in my hide and squealed a lot to frighten everyone away. My human lifted the hide up so I stopped squealing and had a look round. It was a bit scary but after that I realised - there's more world out there! I wanted to come out again!

But then! Horror of horrors. Another hamster came to live near me. He was smelly! And noisy. And the human talked to him more than me and said he was a baby. He was pretty huge for a baby! They didn't call him a runt even though he was apparently small for a hamster too.

So I hid for about three weeks and sulked a bit and got very cross at all the noise the big baby was making in his wheel. Eventually I got used to it and had wheel races - to show I could run as fast as him.

I love cucumber and blueberries and my sand bath and my wheel. But sometimes, when I run up my ladder, which is near my cage door, I think about jumping out to see the rest of the world. Recently I did this. Well I fell out really - lost my footing. But my human said it was naughty to jump out like that. It wasn't a very interesting place under my cage so I walked back into the tube my human put down for me.

Since then I've got a new playpen and I like running round in there.
 
Hello Pip, thank you for joining the club.
I'm small too but to call someone a runt (i googled it) is not on, is it?

I'm glad you showed those rude humans what you're made off and grew into a big and fluffy Robo.

You sound very adventurous. I fell out of my cage too or maybe i jumped. It all happened in a nano second. Big Nose the human, was chatting to me by my open door which was fine but then she tried to stroke me! What on earth was she thinking! What does she think i am? A cat?
So i jumped and run but she scooped me up with her big paws! Didn't know she can move so fast because she's an old rusty human.

You need to watch these humans my two new friends. They won't eat you but they will try and catch you.

I hope this big baby in your house has grown up now and doesn't make so much noise.

I used to live next door to a noisy hamster. I'll tell you about him sometime.

Hello Pip.

I live with two humans whom I call, Tapper and Busy Body. Taper is ok but gets up in my time. He makes taping noises all the time but they do not bother me. Busy Body is not okay. She tries to interfer in my business and spoil my fun. She is such a drag.

I live with two humans too.
One is called Big Nose, for obvious reasons and the other is called Whiskers. He has white whiskers and eyebrows like me but he lost his hair. I wonder if he has mites.

Hahahah! I bet he does have mites. Humans are not as clean as us. I never see them grooming through out the day like we do.
 
That is very true Scot.

I will tell you a bit more about when I arrived in my home.

I was put from my box into a new home. I was so afraid as everything was new to me. In time I slowly explored. I was happy to get a good wheel but Busy Body kept spoiling my fun. When it was very loud she would rush over and try to make it quieter. I told you she was a drag. Sometimes my wheel did not work at all and I did not know what to do with myself. Later on I got a new wheel and this made me so happy. I could run as fast as I wanted to.

I was most unimpressed by the food here. I was given things that were not to my liking. I was given a whole sunflower seed or a whole pumpkin seed. I wanted them cut in half for me but Busy Body took ages to work that out. (Sigh) She is slow to pick up on my messages. One thing I was happy with is tofu. Have you ever tried it? It is amazing. I was not given this enough so I decided to not eat much in the hope Busy Body would give me more. Stupid Busy Body did not pick up on my messages and I had to eat the other food. I left mealworms until they were cut in half and this was eventually done to my standards. Well, I was younger then but I can eat these foods whole now.

Each time I found some fun, Busy Body would ruin it. I found ways to jump off and climb hides. Busy Body would move them or add soft things around them so I could not jump very high. She ruined my buzz and I had to protest. I stopped using things but that worked out well as Busy Body bought me more. Heh heh. I like making my feelings clear.
 
Hiya folks,
i wasn't going to join because i don't do social media but my soulmate is on here.

No, not you Scottie, you're practically a neighbour. Ok, so you live uptown and i live downtown but its still the same town.

I was talking about Orko!

Orko, mate, i hear what you're saying and you got my sympathy.
I also live with a very annoying, interfering and ignorant human.
She's never bothered to learn Hamsterish so hasn't got a clue what i'm squeaking about.
She hasn't been to university to study hamster psychology and she burns the toast!

She's mates with a hamster two burrows away but even he is getting fed up with her. He told me the other night when he was watching me exercise on my wheel.

Why is everybody trying to watch me anyway?! That's just another intrusion of my privacy.

Where was why. I lost my sisal.
What? Thread? Sisal is a thread.

Oh yes, this old geezer called Rodney told me that he had to resort to chirping to get himself noticed.
On a few ocassions his dinner was late and once she ate hers without giving him his first!
Poor old Rodders had to chirp for his dinner. No respect for the elderly this Big Nose and she ain't no spring chicken either.

Anyways, he told me that now she's after his toe nails but she's not having them. Took him over two years to grow them.

I'm glad that my paws are furry.
This Rodney fella is a Syrian but that's not his fault. He was born that way.

Right, i'm going to jump off my vegetable box now and continue my runt another day.

Oh, forgot to introduce myself.
Name's Finley with an e, 17 months, Robo, ex child's toy, now living with Big Nose, grrrr and Whiskers, he's alright and a few sniffers.

Gotta go now to catch up on some beauty sleep, not that i need much. See ya.
 
Hello my fellow soulmate. How dare Big Nose try and cut Rodney's nails! They are his and his alone. I do not understand why humans want to watch us. If they want something to watch then they can always look in the mirror. Not that I would if I looked like that myself. None of them seem to have nice shiny fur like mine.

Poor Rodney having to sing for his supper. Maybe the humans want us to have to play by their rules? Well it is not on. I am a free sprit and do not conform. I like to keep Busy Body worried by changing my routine constantly.

Enjoy your beauty sleep. That way you will escape the humans.
 
Talking about humans and their looks.
When this big nose appeared at my window when i was in the adoption tank, i thought halloween had come early.

As it turned out, there was a human attached to that nose so it was not something from the joke shop.

And this human was that aforementioned annoying one.
It's saturday today. I bet she forgot to buy tofu like last weekend when she tried to fob me off with egg.

Finley
 
To not give you tofu is so cruel! Is it really so much to ask for? It is not like they have anything else more important. I never see Tapper or Busy Body running on a wheel which goes to show they do not do anything of significance.
 
Well that is just mean especially as you made your feelings clear to her.

Would you really want to move in here? I know you have it rough but at least you get a break. My home is right next to Busy Body and she is always around. I have to plan my outings around her being asleep or she will see me.
 
Pip here. It's getting really chilly and dark - I remember this last year and I slept under my house for a while. But now I have lots of cosy places. I am not feeling the cold that much - I have a lot more fur than last year and nothing will keep me out of my food bowl and sand bath. But the big baby next to me. Well - he is being a real baby! He just stays in his nest and sleeps. I did much more wheel running than him last night. I get a bit jealous sometimes as the big baby is normally let out every single night. Much more than me. But that's partly because I am not sure if I want to come out or not. I do, but then I don't, but then I do. Once I'm out it's great, but then I want to go home again.

Actually. he's not a baby any more - but he's still younger than me.
