I just want someone thats had them to tell me about their experiences with them.

I've got a chinese dwarf hamster, called Coco, who's down at my parents house. He's a sweet docile little thing, but is extremely shy and not particularly keen on being picked up. Takes forever to catch him, but once you've got him he's fine with being handled. he likes to cuddle in the crook of your arm and go to sleep.  He also does this adorable thing of trying to curl his tail around your finger.
Never had any issues with him in terms of biting or aggressive, though he can nip if you've handled food recently. think he's testing to see whether you're edible or not! I can't say for others, but we've had ours coming up to 2 years and he's been fine. Only thing to watch though is that they're extremely quick.
