hamsters need alot of care as do rats The child should be old enough to do that chore they need to be fed daily and changed every other day to keep down the stink and to keep the hamster healthy and happy. rodents are nocturnal animals.

For kids under 11 definitely a syrian hamster. Syrian hamsters are about 6 in. so they will not escape as easily. If older than 12 just about any type is fine. The smallest and fastest type of hamster is Robo, they grow to be approximately 1.5-3 inches. Some hamsters in the in between size are Chinese, Winter White, and Russian. These grow to 3-4 inches but are still rather fast. The largest are Syrians. You may find multiple names for Syrian hamsters, such as teddy bears, but they are pretty much the same thing. Hope this helps!

What is the best pet for a 9 year old?

I suggest something from a hamster to a dog... It depends on the kid and what pet you would want in your house. I think a hamster because they are a good size for kids (You may want to watch your kids when they hold it... they jump) but not a dwarf hamster.. Teddy bear hamsters are great pets. Guinea pigs and rabbits are also great if you want something smaller than a dog

It honestly depends on what the kids are allergic too. They can be allergic to cats, but not to hamsters. It would be best to let them play with some hamsters at the store or a friends house, and make sure they don't have a reaction.
