    I grew up owning hamsters and I was always the one who was held responsible when it came to it's cage. Hamsters some times smell like pee, but I know if you clean their cage weekly they don't smell.

    Joe, what kind of hamsters did you breed?
    I'd like to breed this girl. I've never bred a hamsters before... but would like to give it a shot at some point since they are great little animals to own.

    This was one of my 'Winter Whites'. I had two named Boss and Bijou. My Fiancée and I loved those two little guys, sadly they died of old age about a year ago.

    Let me just say I've worked with hamsters for 17 years and think they are horrible little creatures and should not be kept as pets. *Except* Winter Whites! If you want a hamster do what you can to find a winter white.

    The only, and I mean ONLY, hamsters I really like are the Winter whites and Russian dwarf. All others are bitey little monsters... :)

    Here's my daughter, around 4-5 years ago, with her first pet: Russian Dwarf hamster "Mulan-LittleFluff"

    they aren't bitey little monsters if you get them as babies and work with them while they are still young. a little bit of love and handling goes a long way!

    I have a dwarf hamster, she's a rescue someone dumped. She's never bitten but I don't tend to bug her a lot. Give her bed, toys, food, treats, a pet now and then and she's a happy camper.

    Anyone ever here of moto hamsters? They look like the Diabetus guy from those diabetes commercials, and they are about the size of a mouse, with a coat color very similar to the winter white hamsters, except they have a big white bushy handle bar mustache! I need me a diabetus hamsta!

    They`re wonderful little things except for the smell, which I think is just the way they smell no matter what. The odour is from their pee and I sometimes clean their cage every two days.
    I give them scented sandbath but still could never get them to smell like apples :rofl:

    And yup, Winter whites and Russian campbells are great. I have a pair of them and the male is Winter pearl. I`d like to breed them.

    I own a Dwarf Russian Winter White Hamster, his names oscar.
    But dont be fooled by these cute adorable hammys, they may be friendly... but theyre so fast, and extremely hard to hold.
    I advise anyone with children under 5 years old! DO NOT GET THEM THIS HAMSTER!
    my neice is 4 and she cannot hold him, she wants tobut she cannot even tho he is hers
    My brother shouldnt of gotten his daughter a tiny hamster.
    I would advise going for a Syrian or Common hamster.

    Anyway, apart from that theyre good pets!
    Although, i find dwarf russian hamsters do petter in pairs or groups, i remember when i was 8 my aunt had brought her children some dwarf russian hamsters and she had got her eldest son his own, her daughter her own and 2 other ones for her and her husband.
    She had brought them from the same litter, and they played together and slept in a pile! it was so adorable.
    They do actually play, and its fun to watch, they dont have to come from same litters but make sure theyre introduced before theyre 6 months old.

    My oscar!
