Russian dwarf hamsters good pets

[tawnyowlsrock]

Do they make good pets for adults and older kids

Bitey and fast I believe

I had one - very bitey and not much fun tbh, slept all day and up all night.

They bite.

I had hamsters for 10 years till I was 18. Had a few hamsters and would never get a Russian dwarf one. It was the only one that would never tame and had to be handled with sheepskin gloves as it bit. The normal sized hamsters are great for sensible kids 8/9 and older. Once the kids are at a stage where they understand you can't squeeze them.
