Roborovski diet og ernæring
Roborovski dverghamster lever av ulike frø, planter og insekter i naturen og dietten i fangenskap bør etterligne den fra naturen for å minske sjansen for enkelte helseproblemer som da oppstår i større og oftere grad om man gir dem feil type mat og roboer gjør det ikke bra med de aller fleste fôrene kjøpt på butikk da disse er ikke tilpasset roboer sine næringsbehov og fører ofte til overvekt, næringsmangler eller overdosering av andre næringstoffer, diabetes, flere typer kreft, nyresvikt og leversvikt, matvarer de ikke tåler som papaya og purreløk som er giftig for dem og generelt dårlig helse pga dårlig tilgang til næringen de har behov for.

Seeds
Roborovskis eat for the most part a lot of grass and wildseeds in the wild but also flour and oil seeds as well.
Sorghum, pearl millet, yellow millet
Plants, grasses and flowers:
Astragalus sinicus, Alyssum simplex, Berteroa incana, Carex stipata, Alyssum desertorum, Dracocephalum peregrinum, Equisetum scirpoides.
Temperature and winter
Roboer er ørkendyr og drikker generelt lite vann men de har fremdeles behov for nytt ferskt vann daglig.
De drikker opp til 2ml vann om dagen noe de ofte drikker av erfaring på ettermiddagen eller kvelden. avhengig av døgnrytmen og sesong.
Skål eller flaske?
Det mest renslige, hygeniske og trygge er skål da flasker har mange kriker og kroker som samler bakterier og er vanskelig å vaske samt en flaske vil øke faren for dehydrering og frustrasjon da mninimalt med vann kommer ut. Mange tror man kan gå flere dager mellom hver gang man må vaske flasken noe som er feil da flasker MÅ også vaskes daglig eller maks annenhver dag for å minske bakterie og alge vekster.
Skål gir bedre og mer naturlig drikkeposisjon og forebygger faren for dehydrering samt er lettere å rengjøre daglig. Husk keramikk, glass eller metall og ikke plastikk skåler for drikkevann.
Ingen av mine hamstere på oppdrettet har flasker og mine er kun vandt med vannskåler noe jeg anbefaler å fortsette med hos kjøpere.
Ett eksempel på vannskål i ett robo bur.
Men drukner ikke hamstere i skål?
Nei, det gjør de ikke. Jeg har kun brukt skål på oppdrettet og ingen hamstere har druknet eller satt seg fast i vannskålen. Det viktigste å tenke på er dybde og størrelsen på skålen og alderen/størrelsen på hamsteren.
Hay
Hay is an important part of the roborovski diet that is often overlooked. Hay gives fiber as well as it can be used as nesting material. Hay needs to be refilled every now and again when they eat up the hay they were served as hay should always be available in the cage at all times. For diabetic hamsters timothy and alfalfa are the best types to give them.
The most popular hay here for my robos have been timothy but ive heard other breeders like using hay from rye and barley. Herb hay, meadow hay anbd alfalfa hay are also some ive tested but timothy gets eaten the most.
There have been a lot of info over the years spreading in the hamster forums that hay is unnecessary, dangerous and not something for hamsters. This seems to stem from the fact that syrian hamsters, whose diet is so vastly different from the dwarfhamsters diets, do not consume hay and are more prone to poking their cheek pouches because they pouch a lot they shouldnt unlike the dwarfs. The 3 different dwarf hamster species however activly choose to consume and eat hay without any issues and with a preferance to it. Ive found especially older hams and pregnant hams have a bigger need for hay to consume.
