Hamsters: I've had two hamsters, a full sized golden hamster and a Russian dwarf hamster. The full size was friendly, snuggly, and the shape of a softball. Thing never once went near its exercise wheel, but it never bit either. The dwarf bit me every single time I stuck my hand in the cage, but was perfectly friendly once I picked him. Hamsters are supposed to be escape artists, but I never had that problem so I don't know.
Gerbils: I've had good and bad gerbils. One pair I had destroyed two cages year and wrecked various appliances and furniture. They couldn't be handled without someone bleeding and the took one of the cats toes off on one of their escapes. They finally disappeared about a year ago, I expect to hear that they've taken over the country any time now. The other two are consistently friendly and have never ruined a cage or bitten anyone who has held them. In general gerbils are very hyper and won't hold still even if they friendly enough to be held. Gerbils also work as great, cheap paper shredders.
