Answers:
YES YES YES they are the best just get a boy cause tey r calmer and dont try to get away as muchand if you find it sleeping in the cornner of the cage at the store than it well be a cuddly hamster
Goldens a great hamsters!... My favorite kind is the teddy bear hamster. I used to own one named Snickers before he passed away of old age :(. but go with what you like best...
It doesn't really matter what kind you get. You should make sure to handle the hamster before you purchase it to make sure it is friendly and healthy. Any kind of hamster can bite, and any kind can be nice. It's more important to pick out a healthy, friendly individual than to get one based on a breed or color.
almost all hamster breeds are a good type it just depends if it fits your own personality if you like gold ....
yes they are more tolerant than dwarfs. remember you cant put 2 in one cage though
Yep! The best kind of hamster as I've seen, for ease of handling and friendliness.
Goldens are a reasonably plain colour, gold and black, but no definate lines. Not to be confused with syrians, who are the more multi-coloured ones. Either make good pets, but true goldens are generally less skittish, even as babies. If you're over 12, you shouldn't have a problem with either. Dwarf varieties are much faster pets.
Try to get one between 5 and 8 weeks old, from a breeder or responsible local pet shop. By that I mean one who only gets from local breeders, not mass rodent farms. That way the hamsters should be friendlier, as they will have already been held, and seperated from the mother at the right age.
Books like this are also helpful; ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/your-first-hamst... ), it's the one I used, and still believe to be about the best guide on the market. There are others, but aim for beginner books, not big chunky professional ones.
Also, only 1 hamster. And please do not use the minimum cage sizes as seen. Often these are said to be around 30 x 15 x 10cm. This is not big enough. Preferably a multi-storied cage should be used, they are much more fun for your little friend, and it gives you more room to put toys and treats in.
Some cages now available such as rotastak and similar all plastic ones can be hard to clean, and I've had hamsters thta can escape from plastic cages in a matter of a few weeks, so bear that in mind when choosing.
You'd also be well worth getting a hamster ball, these are available at most pet shops, and your hamster will slowly get used to it.
The above is just some tips, I've known too many people who try to keep pairs of hamsters, or them in tiny cages.
Good luck getting a little pet. You should have some fun with your furry friend!
Golden hamster's are very good Hamster's as you know we all have a differrent attitude so hamster's have one too. It's really up to you here is a link at the PetShop that just might help you out: http://friskypetshop.com/en/small.html...
Good luck. ;) i have one and I have no problem with it. But if you decide to get a dwarf hamster you might want to consider an aquarium because they are very good hamster's to escape.
First off, hamsters don't have "breeds", they have types, like the syrian, Campbell's, or robo.
Second, a golden hamster is a syrian, but are sometimes called goldens, which is fine. But there is no such thing as a teddy bear (it is actually just a longhaired syrian), black bear (black shorthaired syrian), or panda bear(black banded syrian), these are all just stupid names petstores come up with so they seem exotic so they can jack up their prices. They are all just normal syrians.
Third, try to rescue one from your local animal shelter/rescue or buy from a reputable breeder instead of a petstore, as petstore hamsters often come with diseases that you don't want them to have.
And finally, syrians CANNOT live with other hamsters, they are solitary, and as long as you know this, then you are good to go! :)
Have fun with your new little friend!
Yes I love hamsters I had a black bear hamster named Sal. He passed away. But golden hamsters are cool providing u work to tame it. Hamsters are always interesting pets to have.
i think that's a good choice
but im just use to dwarf hamsters
but one thing that they all have in common
is they're all cute!
YES! they are i love them but i have to say teddy bear hamsters are by far my favorite..
yes any Syrian is a great choice, they are the friendliest and biggest, get a nice cage too at petsmart or petco, crittertrail makes several models to choose from and don't forget an exercise ball for outside the cage fun.
YES!!! They are cuddily, easier to tame, care, and find when lost than dwarfs. They are the best of the best lol! Good luck!
I would say you should get a black bear hamster. They are extremely nice and will most likely have a less chance of biting you! They are very sociable and love to be held!!
