I think, generally speaking, because women have more maternal instincts & are drawn to babies and animals more often, they tend to keep hamsters more.

It's similar to how, especially in media, women keep chihuahuas were as men keep "manlier" dogs such as Pit Bulls or Rottweilers.

I don't think it's wrong at all if a man was to own and love a hamster, I'd find it quite endearing personally but, at least in my life, I've only met women who own hamsters past childhood.
