I haven't had a dwarf hamster - they are really tiny, and supposed to be very fast! Some can be tamed and some are difficult to tame I believe, but they give a different kind of pleasure maybe, and entertainment value.

If you are thinking of getting a dwarf hamster, then maybe one Robo might be good, then you don't have to worry about the diet so much or risk having to separate and keep two in separate cages. Robos are still very active so still need the same minimum cage size as a Syrian hamster really - as much floor space as possible and as much substrate as possible. The plus side is - smaller wheels and most hamster toys are the right size lol. You'd need a cage with smaller bar spacing or a tank as well. Syrian sized bar spacing might be too large.
