I don't think I have a favourite but I do like having a Robo and a Syrian at the same time! Although our Robo isn't really handleable, he is really interesting - see him out and about 2 or 3 times a day, he stops for a chat, makes funny noises digging underground and is fun to watch on his wheel. He is also very good at regularly keeping his teeth and claws trim and chews and grinds away at wood and cork.

Our Syrian - I see much less of. He only likes to come out in the evening about every 3 days (although when he was a baby he wanted to be out every night). He is hand tame and handleable but more interested in running around exploring.

So on the plus side you can hold and stroke him and see him out of the cage more. On the other hand - I can go days without seeing much of him when he only comes out of his house for food.
