Re: Good first hamster?
i saw your other post too. But I think the main reason why people recommend syrian hamsters the most is purely because of their size and they are easier to tame and interact with. (for the most part)
Robos can be more skittish and just want to be left alone. i.e. my robo will come running if I have food, but other than that wants to be left alone to do his own thing. He doesn't have out of the cage time as he doesn't like it. But he is fun to watch.
My syrians just love free roaming and are very easy to interact with once they are tame.
As long as you are aware of this and your expectations match what a hamster may provide for you, then go with your gut and get whatever species you are drawn to, they all have pros and cons.
