I have a hamster question! Help!

Question

Which hamsters are usually more playful, friendly, and nice: Dwarf or Roborovski? I'm going to get one, so I was just wondering which one would be less likely to bite, or be aggressive.

Answer 1

both of those are aggressive hamsters. The Syrian is the best, the teddy bears hamsters. Mild mannered and sweet

Answer 2

Dwarf are awesome and they dont get very big. I have 2 of them and my daughter plays with them non stop. she is sometimes a little rough and it has never bitten her. Also the cages you can buy with the tunnels are made for dwarf hamsters. My large Fancy hamsters didnt fit in the tubes!!!

Answer 3

Well, firstly, a roborovski IS a dwarf hamster. A robo is very cute; I have one myself, but they don't like to be handled/touched/carried that much. They will be untamed after little time from human contact. The big ones, Syrian hamsters, are more nicer and and don't mind being pet as much as dwarfs. But again, dwarf hamsters are very adorable!
