in my opinion syrians are the better choice for beginners as they're less agile/active compared to dwarfs. they're tho lazier ones too. hehe!
have you done a research on what type of cage,wheel,food and etc? if you haven't i suggest you to do so. good luck choosing!

@bcmc: If you getting a Syrian, I suggest a 2ft tank if possible, as they are quite large in terms of size. Wheel must be 8' above. Then the rest is pretty much the same with other hammies. Refer to the first page for more info. Just look for Syrians.

ovo is wayyyy to small. the wheel is very small also. i suggest you get a Wodent Wheel which costs RM78.80 or Comfort Wheel which costs RM35.
minimum cage size for a syrian is 2ft. the bigger is always better.
