If you've ever owned a hamster, you know how cute and affectionate they can be. But did you know that there are several species of hamsters, and that some of them are more friendly than others with humans? In this article, we introduce you to the different species of hamsters, and give you some tips on how to choose the nicest hamster for you.
Complicit, playful, cuddly: words better chosen
Difficile de parler de gentillesse pour un animal : par défaut, on peut considérer tous les hamsters (et tous les animaux en général il me semble) comme « gentils ». Ce mot ne me semble pas adapté car le référentiel que nous prenons c’est nous, l’homme, le propriétaire.
Ce que l’on cherche donc à savoir c’est « quel hamster sera le plus complice avec moi ? » ou bien encore « quelle espèce de hamster sera la plus joueuse avec mes enfants ? «
It is therefore necessary to define with exhaustive and rational criteria, which species is most suitable to a particular owner, so that he can find the species that will be the most likely to meet his needs.
Attention : ces animaux sont doués d’une volonté propre, d’une personnalité. La race ou l’espèce donne des indications sur le caractère général d’un hamster, mais chaque animal sera différent, principalement en fonction de l’éducation, de la nourriture et des soins que vous allez lui apporter.
In our article on how to choose the right hamsterWe have presented a complete table summarizing the characteristics of each species, from which it is possible to deduce some information
The easiest to tame?
Dans la catégorie « dressage », les Russian hamsters and the golden hamsters stand out.

We could add to the above the Chinese hamster and the hamster roborovski whose complexity is not so much the training as the fact of making them stay in place! They are always on the move. Exit on the other hand the hamster of campbell, less inclined to be close to his master.
Which hamster is the funniest?
Nous allons partir du principe que le mot « drôle » correspond à « joueur », c’est à dire que nous cherchons à savoir quel hamster est le plus susceptible de faire rire, d’être le héro de vos photos ou vidéos, de part son attitude soit trop mignonne, soit son comportement d’inlassable là.
In this game, the most lively, those who need to spend and play the most, are the Chinese hamster and the roborovky hamster, but followed closely by the Russian!

Which species likes to be petted the most?
Without much hesitation, the Syrian and Russian hamster! This is a bit like asking the question of training your little companion, and therefore the first table presented in this page. We can't consider that (with the exception of the Campbell perhaps) the other hamsters don't like to be petted, but rather that they are always too eager to play to spend time without moving under your finger or in your hand!
