Whats your favourite type of Hamster?

I think Syrians and Robos are so cute! x

I have to say Campbell's....if only because they get such bad press and I think they're misunderstood!

But I love robos, WWs and LH Syrians too!

That's a really difficult question to answer. I love them all and because of this i don't have favourites. I do have a soft spot for my Anophthalmic Whites but that's because they are more needy

No competition really i have kept all of them except campbells and the Chinese (in my opinion) always come out on top. they are so friendly and adventurous. i do have a soft spot for robo's as well they are mega cool.

syrians are ok but they are a bit boring in my opinion the ones we have kept get liek a routine and they stick to it.

Definitely syrians

Syrians because they are the most cuddly of all the hamsters. I love the fact Sammy has a routine unlike my others. He gets up washes, has a nut, has a wee, washes some more, has some food THEN he asks to be handled . The rest of them seem to run around until they bump into something Robo's are adorable but I like a animal I can handle easily and especially at the beginning of handling with robo's they don't want to be handled.

I personally prefer Syrian's to own. I've had 5 Russian Dwarfs and all 5 of them were psychotic little bu**ers. Maybe we were doing something wrong.

However since joining this forum, I have totally been swayed, I'd not even heard of Winter Whites, Robos or Campbells, and I particularly like Robos. However I think if I were ever to own dwarfs again, I'd get them from a good breeder who should have started taming them, I think a lot of them in the pet shops don't get good enough start and turn evil! Mine did anyway!
