Is male or female hamsters more friendly?

Answer 1

I've had a lot of hamsters (all colors, short hairs to teddy bears) and dwarf hamsters and never noticed that one sex was any more gentle than the other. The only problem I ever had was with one female dwarf who would never stop trying to bite. The rest have all been pretty gentle. You just don't want to grab them, or surprize them, poke at them when they're asleep or hurt them, then they may bite. Also if you have some food residue on your hands, they may think it's food and try to bite. I got an older female once from someone who hadn't handled her much. She was very "jumpy" at times and would try to run away but she never tried to bite and was very gentle about taking food from your hand.

Answer 2

Depends on what type of hamster you have. For example i use to havea female Dwarf hamster and let me tell ya she was MEAN! she loved to bite but we sold her on eBay cuz she was horible. and my friend had a male Dwaf hamster and if you bugged him to much he would get a little mean and nip at you. but i wouyld have to say yes some female hamsters are more aggresive the some male hamsters

have fun with your new/ old hamster

Answer 3

No, not particularly. It usually depends on the hamster. Remember that hamsters are nocturnal animals, so they are awake at night and usually function at night, so if you hear noises or the squeaky wheel at night, it's your hamster.

Answer 4

One difference is the Males will be more.....dominant. Protective. Sometimes even aggressive. Females, they like sleeping more.

Answer 5

it really depends but jus take ur pick,

males are usually better than females

Answer 6

It depends. They're mostly the same size, but it depends on the breed. Syrians and Teddy Bears are in the 'big hamster' breeds, and dwarf hamsters are usually smaller.

Answer 7

it depends on how you train them but i would say equal thow ;]
