Get the teddy bear they are soo nice to humans and only take a day or 2 to train. Believe me I have 3. Here are some things you need to know when you get your hamster; http://www.sunseed.com/artccat46MYIS73.h... http://www.helium.com/items/447102-how-t...

Answer 4

They're basically the same thing. They're both syrian hamsters. "Golden" and "teddy bear" are cutsie names given to hamsters by pet stores. Teddy bear usually refers to long-haired hamsters, and golden usually refers to the short-haired golden colored hamsters. So, really, your choice is whether you want a long-haired or short-haired hamster.

If you don't mind either, I would recommend you choose a hamster based on personality, overall health, and temperament when being handled rather than on looks.

Answer 5

the teddy bear hamster fur could get tangled but the golden hamster is a short haired hamster so i could depend on which one you can take care of but both of them look real nice. and have fun with your pet.

Answer 6

i have also had a golden hamster before and they are just fine and as loving as a teddy bear hamster.  the only difference is..color lol :)

Answer 7

well i had some teddy bear hamsters and they bit so hard cuse one bit me and i had there tooth mark for 2 hole days.i think you should get a golden hamster cuse they are so cute

Answer 8

Get a rat. They are much better. I suggest a like sexed pair, preferably male as the females sometimes come with hidden surprises. Hamsters are like mice, relatively dumb and teddy bears stink. Rats are clean, 100% social, very affectionate, and 3-4 times smarter than a cat or dog. They can be litter trained and learn commands generally at a very rapid pace. They just have a bad rap. I have dealt with many animals, and hold rats in the highest regard.

Answer 9

They are the same, one has short hair the other has longer hair.  They are both adorable.  I have had both and the teddy bear died of wet tail, I think I bought it sick from Petco.  I got a replacement golden and she's wonderful.  At first I didn't think she was as cute but now she looks just like Winnie the Pooh to me.  She's great and very gentle, lets us handle her a lot.  Loves her ball.

Answer 10

well golden hamsters you dont have to cut their hair or anything. teddy bear ones you might have to in summer.

or why not get both

Answer 11

They are the exact same thing.  The only difference is that the pet store charges more just for giving one a cute name.

Answer 12

idk what the diff is lol.

but i think golden is cuter

:D

have fun with your new pet
