Yes, Syrian hamsters are very good pets. They are good for children especially. They don't often bite (mine is over 2 years old and has never bit anyone) , but if they do bite, it doesn't do much damage! Syrian hamsters are very friendly and will come out to play and be held and stroked etc. However, they are nocturnal, so will probably not want to come out in the middle of the day, but in the evening they will be more lively. They are relatively easy to clean as well. All you keep them in is a cage filled with sawdust or wood shavings with a bed and some play things and stuff to chew on. Every couple of days you should scoop out the soiled sawdust (usually in the corners) and once every couple of weeks change the sawdust completely. They need fresh water and food every day. make sure you also get an excersise ball and let them run around bait every few days. So overall, i would say that they are really good easy pets and they are really cute.

∙ 15y agoI wouldn't if i were you as they cannot survive the cold in winter and a cat or somthing like that might get it and if you keep it indoors you will see it more often, i think its slighty cruel to keep it outside.

Sometimes they may also need to go if their claws or/and teeth have overgrown and need to be clipped. Providing adequate chew blocks should prevent this from happening too often however.
