Hamtards report in!
Lots of people have cats or dogs, or slightly less embarrassing rodents like rats or ferrets, but even though lots of people thinks hamsters are for kids we know better! They don't whine at you for attention, you can always watch them do something cute, they're not stinky, and they can be really affectionate.
TL;DR Hamsters are awesome. Lets see some of your's.

hamsters fucking suck. i would never again own one. gerbils pwn so much. hamsters stink so horribly, trust me, they do. if you think they don't, its because your nose is clogged with a fucking monster truck. they bite you for no fucking reason, sleep all damn day, and kill each other. enjoy your fail

I owned three hamsters in the past. Unfortunately I never thought to take pics of them so i have none, but they were awesome.
Though I don't think they make terribly good pets, you can't train them to stay with you (unlike rats or chinchillas), they run away no matter what.

however they are definitely cuter and more fun than gerbils or mice. A fellow above me mentioned how gerbils 'pwn' but i have to disagree, they strike me as smaller and more twitchy hamsters... mine was always escaping.

I had a friend whose dwarf stayed and slept in her hand. I think Syrians and Commons are the only ones that are loners and shit.

A CLEAR CONTRADICTION

I got a hamster when I was 8 for Christmas. He was a smart little fucker. Chewed holes out of his plastic cage. He'd always pile all his bedding up in one spot to lay in. I gave him these little wooden fruit flavored chew sticks from the pet store. He'd stack them up like stairs.

Fucker never let me hold him. Bit me every damn time I tried to reach in and touch him. So I'd just watch him, and feed him.

I used to have 2 hamsters. One of em almost never bit me, the other bit me more so I rarely ever held him. So does it depend on the hamster if it'll bite you or not?

I think it's the breed.
I had a few Syrian hamsters as a kid and they were all sweet as fuck.
I recently got a Russian and he bites me whenever I take him out. He's got a crazy look in his eye too!

Lol, I've accidentally ripped the tail off a gerbil. Have you ever accidentally ripped the tail off a hamster? Of course not.

OP here. That's my hamster in the cage in the first pic. She's the sweetest thing ever. I had several hamsters growing up and they were vicious mother fuckers. The trick this time was I had the lady at the pet store let me hold her before I bought her. Even though she was terrified she didn't bite me, while the other hamster in the cage kept biting the chick as she tried to pick it up. That's how I knew she was the one I should get.
tl;dr I don't think temperament is a breed thing, I think it's hamster specific. Always hold them before you buy.
