Question
is there difference between dwarf hamsters and regular hamsters?
Which do you reccomend if im only getting one to be by itself in the cage?

Answer
Yes there is a differnce between dwarf and full sized hamster. One obvious difference is that dwarfs are much smaller. There are also more breeds of dwarfs. I personally enjoy syrian hamsters, but either will do fine in a cage by itself.

Thanks for writing.
