Hamster genders
My male hamster died in march and my friends male hamster died in May. she recently got a female hamster and says that the girls are more energetic and sweet then males. I always thought boys were nicer than girls? I would like a girl better but I want to get the nicest gender. What should I choose?

Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
Animals always have their own personalities that have nothing to do with gender. Some hampsters are mean and others can be really nice. If you get them when they are young and treat them well, they should be very good pets. I've had experience with hampsters that were tortured by little kids and they can be downright vicious.
In general, though, I have heard that female hampsters are better than males because they are less agressive and won't bite as much. I've had 3 hampsters, all of them were female, and they were all very good pets.
Hope that helped!

Each animal has its own personality. And you can't judge how a hamster will be simply by gender. Personally, I've had better luck with females--they definitely seem more gentle and sweet than those rowdy males. But males do mellow out with age, and no matter which you choose, you will be happy somehow or another. If you aren't sure which you want to choose, I suggest you simply pick out the nicest, sweetest hamster you can find.

I personally think you should choose a boy hamster :). The girl ones, being energetic, will bite sometimes and be mean while the male ones aren't. They also sometimes try to jump out of your hands. So i personally don't mind a slightly lazy hamster :)

well, i'd take your friend's advice and if her girl hamster is really sweet, then they probably are. whenever you go to the pet store to purchase one, you can even try asking the person behind the counter which one of the genders is more sweet and energetic. i tried googling up female hamsters to see if they're better than males and i didn't really see anything. but i did notice they mentioned they're energetic and everything, so your friend's probably right. i hope i helped. <3
