I agree with RacingHamster that hamsters aren't good for small children, better for parents and the child can help & wonder about things. If it's a Syrian then I don't know when a kid could ever see the hamster, Joffy only appears after 11pm! In fact the thing Joffy hates the most, the thing that he tuts & hmppfs at for ages afterwards, is being woken up. He gets so annoyed he just can't deal with it, like a grumpy old woman!

They can get wait tail unfortunately, my first Russian dwarf died of it.
