What kind of hamsters are the best as pets?
Posted on Nov 16, 2009 under hamsters | 6 CommentsI want one but my mom hates hamsters because one bit her once. I want a nice hamster that won’t bite her. What do you think is the nicest one?
The Syrian hamster is the most popular pet hamster for children because it is gentle and easy to handle.
they maybe fiercely territorial.. but they fight among themselves only. They seldom bite and more slow and lazy than other species of hamsters..
I’ve kept many type of hamster for many years.. believe me.. they are the most gentle tamper of all.
note:
(male hamster are best known to be more mild tamper then the female)

It really depends on the individual animal, but Syrian hamsters are generally the most social and friendly. Try going to a reliable pet store, breeder, or shelter and request a hamster that is easy going towards humans (I’m sure you’ll find plenty). Also tell your mom that the hamster who bit her was probably just scared and that most hamsters make great pets!

Hamsters aren’t the best pets for not biting.
They tend to be a little cranky.
Really, it all depends on the individual. Get a young one from a breeder, or a family whos pet had babies unexpectedly, they make the best pets.
Avoid pet stores. They have been teased and tormented, and are often sick.
The best little furry pet is a rat. They like people and get super cuddly. Not like hamsters who only want to get away and find food.
Cheers.

In general, the most relaxed and good natured hamsters are the syrian (teddybear)
The smaller breeds do tend to bit. However, everyones experiances of owning hamsters are different, and all animals are unique in their own way.
The main thing to remember is that the more a hamster is handled, the more tamer and sociable it will be.
I can reasure your mum, that I have had my syrian hamster for 14 months and he has never once bitten.
Also. male hamsters are slightly more relaxed in character than females.
