I have three dwarf hamsters, which only nibble on my fingertips if they smell good. Like if i have just touched som lettuce, meat or something that smells good to a hamster. With a bit of care they can get really friendly, for example one of my dwarf hamsters come out of his burrow when i call him, and sits in my hand all by himself. They dont really smell, it varies a bit from hamster to hamster, or if they are male or female. But still, its the one rodent that has the least bad odors. They dont need a really big cage, but remember if you have a small cage they must have something to keep them occupied. They need a wheel and lots of stuff to dig in and hide and play with.
I could go on forever on how to keep a dwarf hamster, but before i get too sidetracked, i think they must be the most suited pet to conceal. They are cheap to have because they eat very little food and drink equeally less water. Dont smell (only of you dont clean and change the bedding of the cage in over a month but i hope you got some sense). Cute and have some pretty funny antics. Just remember that they are nocturnal, but can be trained over a period of time to be awake while you are.
