I am planning on soon purchasing a hamster. A few years back apparently I had a “Syrian”. (feel free to correct me). I’ve been looking around online and well there are a lot more breeds than i knew of. So my question to all hamster lovers is which breed is best?

um a ccampbell russian dwarf hamster good for every one and easy to breed haha i dont recomend bredding un proffecionally
okay well i would recommend a nice friendly hamster such as the fancy hamster (usually brown and white or black and white), and yes the one u had (i dont kno exactly how to spell it either lol), or the black bear hamster. i have had such great and nice hamsters of these breeds. i would recommend going to buy your hamster at night to see how they react alive, awake, and most active from petsmart, petco, or a local animal pet shop! hope that helped!! :]
For me I have to say the Golden hamsters. They are a lot hardier then their dwarf cousins. Golden Hamsters are very sweet! I had a pair and they were just amazing! sure they had to be put in different cages but both were very nice and even after that I had gotten another one. They rarely get sick and lived long happy hamsters life!
I would definitley suggest a golden teddy bear hamster. those are the ones i had and i absolutely loved them. they’re easy to train and quite calm. they’ll let you hold them and usually don’t care. i would definitely recommend it. GET IT. hope this helps and i hope you love ur new hamster
A Syrian (your right) is the easiest to handle and is the most perceptible to handling.
Which breed is best is so ambiguous it is really impossible to answer as there are stars in all breeds.
If you want a hamster that is calm, cuddly and doesn’t bite – go Syrian.
Within syrian you can get many types like golden and panda bear.
These are just different colorings and you can choose which you like the best.
Dwarf hamsters are fast, do not like to be held usually, and bite a little bit more (not much) – they are very fun to watch
There are four types campbells, chinese, winter white and roborovski.
Personally I would say go Syrian WOOOO.
Hope I helped.
P.S.
I know you probably have your heart set on hamster but I have three rats and they are so amazing. Sugar, Dash and Pepper (my rats) all are extremely sweet, cute, smart, affectionate and mischievous!

Hope I helped,
If you don’t want a rat don’t read the P.S. =p
I like Syrians which are also referred to as Teddy Bear hamsters. I think they are easily tamed, and gentle. I’ve only been bitten twice out of many hamsters.
I have a teddy bear and she is the sweetest thing. She was very easy to train. Now she seats on my shoulder while i am on the computer and when i put her in her ball she is on my heals. Lol she is an awesome pet. I haven’t had any other breeds personally but my sister had a fancy hamster and she chewed her foot off and died. She was physco. Good luck!
