THE TUBBY ROBOROVSKIS have been de-cluttered and now nest under a corrugated cardboard roof culled from a Christmas chocolate box in a kind of robo-favela, which smells of frankincense. Spherical is still highly annoyed at being called "Carrot Nose" but here's a picture of her (to the right) pulling her Carrot-Nose face. Yes it is her looky-likey. I'm not capable of taking photos as good as that, but all Robos look "the same" at least colouring-wise. Which is why I STILL get mine mixed up, specially Bashful and Itchy. Sergeant Bashful, as I call her when she's being "assertive" adopted the posture of a large aggressive dog leering over a garden gate and took to snapping at my fingers the other day. She's always trying to get an unauthorized nibble of me and I find it quite annoying.
To the top left you see "Baby" Itchy looking like a Furry Morsel. Look at that shot, imagine her deep-fried in crispy batter and you'll see what I mean. She is literally bite-size. Like a robo-chicken-nugget. Once, when she was rambling about on my hands and I called her "that" she took such fright she bunnyhopped half way across the room in utter terror. I don't know why. I WAS working on a video of me making an Itchy sandwich at the time, but apart from that she'd not have a clue I was thinking of having her for dinner...
Chick, chick, chick, chick, chicken ... pox

haha! They do look like they'd be lovely with a nice sweet and sour sauce.
see. i was going to try and train Itchy to get picked up between chopsticks... imagine what a good video that would make..
Put her in an egg cup. Man I would/wouldn't pay to see that!
What do you expect if you call her that?!! She heard you obviously. I hope you have made it up to her.
Last time I popped over your blog wouldn't come up but it has now. Obviously.
They are cute little things. I really think that Itchy doesn't look edible to me--she just looks like a little fuzzy rodent.
Tell me you don't let them know you want to eat them! :0
Aww . . how could you think of such a thing let alone say it! They're 10 times cuter than the mouse that has taken up residence in my house! He jumps too!
What cute hamsters....although I had a chinchilla live with us for a few months.....decided I am not a fan of the little furry things that try to bite you with their sharp teeth. I was glad to see the chinchilla go back to where he belonged...his owner who had been traveling overseas.....
in response to the daughter's leg that you commented on...I hope she got the right treatment...she is currently in INDIA...which I would prefer she not be but at 23 who gets to tell their kid what to do? She says all is good but I sent her your comment so she knows where to go if/when she gets sick! hope all is well with you......
Don't be too sure of that Gleds Baby Itchy is wise to you - it's just her look "Hmmm you talking to me or about me?" gorgeous liddle face ... hers ;)
REENY: If I had an eggcup I would. They look really cute in shotglasses...
LIZ: YEAH I get that. Heavens knows why...
SYD: no I regretted saying that all night. Imagine the yukky flavour! Imagine the BONES!!
AKELAMALU: un4tunately they might have "guessed"...
BAINO: swines! No I heartily repent. Wish I'd never said it...
NEVA: thanks! Yeah: powdered antibiotics are the thing. They helped my girlf's leg when she slipped in my dysentry vomit no end...
BIMBIMBIE: very wise indeed. Hence the habit of hiding in toilet tubes "just chewing" whenever my nasty hand comes near...
