I have two Roborovski hamsters. I do not have very much experience with the hamsters, but they looked fun, so does anyone have any helpful bits of information or websites?
Also, I am looking into getting chinchillas. I need a little bit of help because I've never kept them before. I need to find some of the breeding instructions and/or websites.
Thanks

I have both but I don't breed robos any more as I struggled to re-home the little ones, cute as they are they don't make ideal pets for children as they're just too quick to handle.

Anyway a good forum for hamster info Syrian and Dwarfs (robos, campbells and winter whites etc) is Hamster Central here's a link for you http://www.hamstercentral.com/forum/ and a good forum for chinchillas is http://www.chinchillaworld.com/forums/.

If you're thinking of "dabbling" in one or the other I would definately suggest robos, chinchillas are an ENORMOUS commitment they they a lot of time, energy, room and money and they can live up to 25 years. They also have various medical issues especially with their teeth which can cost thousands to stay on top of :shock:
