we have a male and he is amazing - so tame and cute!!

he is a long haired variety - which in my opinion are by far the cute-est!

I have always had males, the one female i had bit the living daylights out of me, could not be touched or held and died early.
I would definetly advise a male - keep us updated.

Its personal choice really, I have an adorable little girl who is over 3 now and am looking after a little boy. Both lovely hammies in their own way.

I have 2 female syrians and they are lovely but I have heard (numerous times) that males are much nicer and less nippy!!

Good Luck with your search!

I've kept both and to be honest, i can't decide between them. I've never had a nippy hamster, i've had a nippy gerbil but not a hamster lol

all in all MALE syrian hasmsters are best as they dont feel the need to bite unlike females

Re: Which to get Male or female Syrian Hamster??

Boys we have a few hammies one was a girl and was a miserable cow couldnt take her out with her taking a chunk out of you!

But all the boys were lovely, When we were younger we had a male hammie and male mouse who loved each other to bits the shared a cage and would curl up and sleep together. I know it was prob silly thing to do now but they really did adore each other!
