Roborovskis (Phodopus roborovskii) are the smallest and fastest of all hamsters which are commonly kept as pets. Distinguishing characteristics of the Roborovskis are the white spots where the eyebrows would be, and the lack of the dorsal stripe seen in all other dwarf hamsters. They live, on average, to three and a half years of age - the longest of any domestic hamster. Recently, a mutation has arisen producing a "husky", also known as "white-faced", phase. Breeding these lines with agouti Roborovskis produces a diluted appearance of their natural brown colour.
This must be Bokbok... hehe. He's really small. Weee... with small little legs and a stubby little tail with nice little ears big eyes and a cute nose. Hehe. Squishy! ^_^

Absolutely cute! Is that as big as they get or larger?
Hmmm ... I can use having a pet around to keep me company when it's late and I find myself tinkering with my images.
Where did you get it?
hey, sorry for the late reply... Roborovskis are kinda expensive... about 400 each. they don't grow any bigger. They don't smell bad. They require little maintenance - just food and water. However, they require a place to play in so some kind of cage with a mill may be required. You can get they from any Bio Research outlet.
