What species should I get?

[scenicme]

I've owned a few Syrian's in the past but I want to own a different species to the Syrians I am used to. What other species would you recommend to someone who hasn't own that particular species before?

-Dwarf Campbells Russian Hamster
-Dwarf Winter White Russian Hamster
-Roborovski Hamster
-Chinese Hamster

Also, if there's anything different I need to know about caring for a particular species please let me know.

I have a baby Winter White and they are gorgeous. Super cute (very important) and very funny little characters. They are also quite active and fun to watch. I would suggest looking into a reputable breeder. Also, pedigree WW aren't prone to diabetes which is great for beginners to the dwarf species'.

As I have never owned any other species, I can't help you on the last part. Good luck and I hope you find the right hamster for you.

What sort of hamster do you think you'd feel most comfortable with in terms of care,setup,diet,and handling?That matters so much and really that's what you need to think of first!

Once you've thought about what you are comfortable with,it becomes a lot easier to suggest a species.
