I have read that a female hamster's hormones kick in every couple of days. This makes them very mean weekly. If I were you I would go with a male. You are much safer on getting a nicer hamster if you get a male. I would recommend a Syrian hamster. They are the nicest of all the hamster breeds. DO NOT keep them in the same cage. Syrian hamsters DO NOT get along with their own breed!!

∙ 12y agoMale hamsters are usually nicer. Female hamsters usually bite a lot and are very moody. If you are going to buy a hamster and you don't know which gender to pick, pick a male.
If you are just getting one hamster then both are nice.
