Now tally up your answers...

Mostly A's: Syrian Hamster
Syrian hamsters are best alone and are the largest of all hamsters. The females can be aggressive but the males are generally nicer. These are the most common of the hamsters and are very easy to care for. They live for up to 3 years.

Mostly B's: Winter White/ Russian Hamster
These two hamsters are almost the exact same but winter white hamsters' fur turns white in the winter. They are sometimes social with other hamsters. They also like to be held and rarely bite. Their lifespan is about 18 months (1 and a 1/2 years). Overall, they are a great first hamster.

Mostly C's: Chinese Hamster
Chinese hamsters are very playful and easy to care for. They don't need a cage buddy but sometimes will put up with one if you give it one. They live for about 2 and a half years. Try to put new and exciting things in they're cage once and a while because the love to explore!

Mostly D's: Roboroviski Hamster
Robo hamsters are VERY fast and active! They love to run around and dig. Most robos prefer to not be held but some will eventually crawl into your hand. They live for up to 4 years. Being the smallest of the hamsters, they are hard to catch but absolutely adorable!
