Question
Hi I was wondering which hamster I should get, I was going to get a robo hamster but i heard that they are aggressive. I want a hamster that is small but is not aggressive. Can you help me?  Thank you.

Answer
Hello,
to be perfectly honest there's no guarantee that any hamster is not going to be aaggressive. The friendliest hamster in my opinion is the chinese dwarf hamster. I've never had oen bite me at work. I have a winter white hamster that is just as sweet as can be. he will nibble on my finger when I enter the cage but it's just him figuring out if I taste good or not.
