What hamster should i get?

Question
Hi, i am trying to decide what type of hamster i should get.  We are
looking to get some kind of a dwarf and when we get that dwarf we will
have two of them.  I went to the pet store and picked up a chinease dwarf
hamster and it didn't bite and it seemed to get used to me quickly, but i
kept reading about how easily the escape and how they dont do too well
in pairs.  They also had russion dwarfs at the pet store.  We could not pick
up the russion dwarf because it would bite us.  Will the russion dwarf get
used to us and not bite us if we handle it daily?  Note: all the hamsters in
the pet store are female.  Someone i know said it was temperamentle and
if the hamster bit hen it would always bite and if it didnt bite i would stay
nice.

Answer
HI Joey,
I think that it's nice that you are putting some thought into the type of Hamster to get. All hamsters are escape artists! I don't think one breed is worse than another. And you might be right about the biters. All I know is that most of them bite!

But I am not a hamster expert. I am going to give you a link to some one in here that is. Copy and paste your question to Heather and she can help you decide.
