Re: Good first hamster?
Honestly it comes down to stereotypes as to why people often don't recommend dwarf hamsters. There's no perfect first hamster for everyone - we're all different and what species works best for some may not work best for an individual.
There's nothing wrong with starting with a dwarf hamster of any species, even a robo. Listen to your gut and if it's telling you a Syrian wouldn't be right don't get one.
