Nope, not just you. I've owned both for years now and currently have one mouse and three hamsters. I've owned both dwarfs and syrians and I would difinitely pick a mouse anyday over the hamsters. Mice are MUCH more socialable than hamsters. Plus, you are less likely to be bitten if you wake them during a nap.


Here's some info on my house mouse Fred:
