What is the most common house pet hamster or gerbil?

Answer 1

This question may have several answers because it is a debatable topic.

I think it is hamsters because only 2 people out of 20 in my class have guinea pigs, but 10 out of 20 have hamsters!

Guinea pigs and hamsters both make great pets, but the hamster is more popular. This doesn't mean it is a better pet, its just more commonly sold, owned and bred. -Joanna K.

Answer 2

Syrian hamsters are the most common pet wise as they have a friendlier nature, the only problem is you can't house any together as they're very territorial, you have to house them separately as they do attack each other. You can house dwarf hamsters as they group in the wild anyway. Syrian hamsters are friendlier and more child friendly if handled well and kept well :)

Answer 3

The Syrian hamster is one of the most, or the most, popular hamster because it has a quite easy temperament and fairly easy to hand-tame. The Syrian hamster, also sometimes known as "teddy bear hamsters", are also quite cute and cuddly (depending on what state of health it's in, that is.)

Remember, though, even if Syrian hamsters are the most hand-tameable hamsters, that doesn't mean they won't nip! So be careful when handling even Syrian hamsters.

Syrian hamsters come in long-hair and short-hair versions, also. (I know that wasn't relevant but I had to add that in.)

Answer 4

I say hamsters are more common but I like gerbils more. They have a fun personality.
