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. =)
