Feeding a Roborovski hamster is the same as feeding any other breed of hamster. This would be a main diet of muesli mix and the odd piece of fruit every now and then. Obviously any labelled hamster food is safe, but there are certain things to look out for. Always look on the back and check for 15% or more protein. Any less than this as your hamster wont benefit from it as they need a lot of dried veg in their diet.
Try to find bagged hamster food which contains dried sweet corn, monkey nuts (good for gnawing), sunflower seeds etc.
Although hamsters are almost completely vegetarian, it doesn't mean you should give them fresh fruit and veg every day. The Roborovski hamsters stomach digests seeds better than moist foods, due to their natural environment which contains very little moisture! Because of this, lots of fruit and veg may cause diarrhoea. I would recommend feeding them a small piece of fruit or veg twice a week to avoid upset stomachs.
Don't forget it’s essential to buy some vitamin drops for their food and water to keep their immune system strong. By making sure you know exactly what and how to feed your hamster, will almost certainly lengthen their life expectancy!
