No, hamsters aren't hypoallergenic. Their fur doesn't shed much, but if you're allergic to them you shouldn't get one. I have a pet hamster, and when my mom holds him she gets a rash because she's allergic to him.

When I got a hamster, my friend (who is allergic to fur), was fine. You have to check each breed you like by holding, petting, and generally standing around them. If you get a rash, you are allergic! Hope this helps!

P.S. Hamsters don't live long! :-(

No there isn't. But, it's not the hamster people with Allergies are allergic to. It's the bedding.

Many hamsters (not all) are allergic to pine and cedar. That is why these should NEVER be the bedding or chew toy.

I wouldn't, all the hamsters that I know of have pet dander. Especially a Winter White.
