On average, they live the longest of any pet hamsters, living about three to three and one-half years of age.
They are easily startled and are generally quite shy but curious. They're social and usually sleep together in one place. They aren't good pets for families with children. They are the worlds fastest hamsters. They're obviously also not a good fit for someone who wants a hamster that they can cuddle. Roborovski's are certainly not cuddlers. They are generally the size of a thumb and can easily squeeze through the bar of the cage, so careful consideration of cage choice is important. Because of their size and speed, Roborovski's are best for people who prefer to observe rather than to play with their pet.
