Answer 6

Yeddy Bear hampsters.

Answer 7

First of all try finding one off of Craigslist.com or smaller pet shops around town because Petco is too expensive. Dwarf hamsters are small and not really the best for holding. The larger Syrian hamsters are great.  Dwarfs can be kept in pairs and groups while the larger hamsters must be kept 1 to a living space or they will fight. Doesn't mean you can't have more than one, just means they have to stay in different cages. They are large enough to hold comfortably in your hands and put on your shoulders. The three types of larger hamsters I have experience with are the Cream Syrian, The European Black Bear and The Teddy Bear hamster. The only major difference is Teddy Bears have longer hair which I personally don't like much and I check him everyday to make sure his fur is clean. This is also a great time for me to bond with him. Any hamster you get will not like being held right away. It takes time and after years of owning hamsters I've only been bitten once. Just remember not to bother them when they are sleeping. As for them smelling, I don't really have that problem and you shouldn't if you clean the cage at least every 4-5 days. I just want to mention males have testes that some people find disturbing because they are so large when they are protruding if you don't mind that males are the way to go. Good Luck.

Answer 10

even though dwarf hamsters are SUPER cute

i wouldd get a teddy bear hamster

I've had both and dwarf hamsters are a little  too small and hard to hold

teddy bear hamsters love to be held and they rarley bute

i had a teddy bear hamster for  a LONG time and it NEVER bit me

some people are afraid of getting them because of their long hair and it would stink more

but really all hamsters stink the same! ( :

teddy bear hamsters are super cute

Answer 11

dwarf hamsters are way better. i just got 2 and they are so cute. But there is a down side to getting one. they are super fast. like when they are running oon a wheel you can't even see their legs. beware when holding them they will jump out of your hands and you will have to chase it around the house. most likely you will lose your hamster at least once. but hey its all apart of haviing a hamster. then once you fid it you will have a good story to tell. :)

Answer 12

Answer 15

They are both great but teddies are easier to handle.

Don't buy from Petno. They get their animals from breeding mills. They are usually sick with wet tail and/or pregnant or missexed.
