Default Re: Stop! Thinking of getting a pet hamster? Please read first.

Definitely not a Chinese or Roborsky (robo). They are both very small and from what I understand are the two hardest hamster breeds to tame.

Both of my winter whites (or Siberian) while still tiny, were both very well tempered and easy to handle.

My cousins short-hair Syrian is also very well tempered and likes to cuddle. However, they are on the larger scale.

Both species require different set-ups, space, and ect. The cost will also vary as well as any potential health issues.

My recommendation would be to do some research on species that you're interested in and discover what are you willing to deal with and what you are experienced enough to handle.

There is also a breed section on this forum you can visit and see peoples experience with various breeds.
