Best Answer

The correct name for a pet hamster (not including the dwarf varieties) is a Syrian, or Golden Hamster.

There are many unofficial names for the species, some refer to colouration, 'black bear hamster' for example. Some refer to fur style, like 'teddy bear hamster', or a mixture, 'fancy hamster'. However none of these are actual species in of themselves, they are all Syrian Hamsters.

Wicth is a better pet you are deciding over 7 pets Fancy Russian Dwarf Hamster or Robo Dwarf Hamster or Fancy Bear Hamster or Gerbil or Fancy Mouse or Dumbo Rat or Fancy Rat or a Guinea Pig?

I would say and dwarf hamster any kind there cheaper and they wont chew the bars of your hamster cage they are really cute. but do not get two and try not to let them escape your hands. They are really fast runners that's why i got the teddy bear hamster because they come in cute colors and they don't bite as much and you can get more than one. =)
