Should you get a Chinese Dwarf Hamster or a Robo Dwarf Hamster?

Answer 1

If you're a beginner, I'd recommend a Chinese Dwarf hamster. They're very sweet. I have one myself, and practically never bites, unless you either force her to or she's in her cage and you leave your finger in front of her mouth for too long.

If you're a little more advanced, I think you should get a Roborovski (Robo) hamster. They are very active, they're the smallest breed, and they're so chubby. Unfortunetly, they do bite very commonly and are very hard to take out of their cages. They seem harmless at first, then become one of the devils side kicks. I used to have one, but died at 6 months (I have no idea what happened) , but still, I know that if you want to calm one down while it's in your hands or just want to have an excuse that you should keep it in your hands (Or keep it if your family was talking about sending it back to the pet store) you should try holding it up to your chest gently, and petting their back or rubbing their cheek pouches. They love that, or at least Cookiedough (my old Roborovski I was talking about) did. But when you stop, they'll immediately wake up, and if you don't do something fast, could bite you. Another thing about Roborovskis is that they could get very hyper, more hyper than usual. If you're planning to put a Roborovski in a cage with bars, don't. Why? Because that possibly caused my old hamster to be climbing the walls and ceiling (not what she normally did) and she died the next day, while I was watching the first showing of Rio, at New York. I was the first one to see it, besides everyone else in the theater. But still, I shouldn't have put in all the details. So let's put it this way: Chinese Dwarf hamsters are for beginners, and Roborovski hamsters are for the extremely advanced.
