Please don't go to P@H! Consider a rescue hamster or one from a show breeder. A lot of pet shop hammies will be a bit jumpy and nervous, because they aren't handled much as babies.

The "Russians" P@H sell tend to be hybrids of the campbells and winter white hamsters. They can sometimes be nippy, but this is due to lack of handling when they are being raised and in the shop. Some of them can be perfectly tame, others will nip for life. Campbells hamsters are prone to becoming "cage territorial", where they will attack anything they see as invading their space - this is why they can be branded as aggressive, but they tend to be sweet as pie once out of the cage.
