Heather- Yeah some hampsters can be pretty mean. My friend has a Dwarf Hampster that actually attacks! If you put your hand in the cage to clean or change the food he comes running over and tries to kill you. Personally I don't like living with animals that try and kill me, but of course once you've brought it into your home it's hard to let go (even if they are evil). I've been lucky none of my pets are mean. Of course I tend to get them when they are really young so they are used to me. Heehee.

Cheers,
