Don't discount syrians Jamie. They make the loveliest of pets and like all hamsters tame very easily with kindness and patience. Your friends one may have had a bad start or something. P&H are talking rubbish. The problem with their hammies is that sadly they have never been handled or really even seen a person when they are sent to the stores. They again will tame readily. Robos are very speedy and be sure your cage is suitable as they can get through quite small bars. Do you have any pet shops near you other than P&H. You could ask there where they get their hammies from as some do get them from breeders so that may be your only option if you can't track one down near you. Good luck anyway.
