Question:

If I have a colorful plastic and wire cage with tubes, which kind of hamster should i get?

I have lots of hamster space all connected with tubes, and each area is colorful and some have wires. I have had hamsters in the past, but never more than one at a time. I want another hamster to replace the one I had for almost 4 years but then passed away. The thing is, I don't know if I should get more than one hamster at the same time, and also I don't know what kind of hamster/s I should get. Please help!

Answer:

Get one syrian hamster as they if they are kept together they will fight and in most cases kill each other. Syrians also love tubes and wires and anything they can play or climb on. I have found the males to be friendliest. I'd advise going to a good breeder as these have handled the baby hamsters from being tiny making them very friendly and they will also give you loads of great advice.
GET A SYRIAN HAMSTER! The bigger ones don't bite and they love tubes! The dwarf are very mean and when they bite they hang onto the persons skin until they get a good enough bite. TRUST ME ITS HAPPENED TO ME!
Put a Teddy Bear inside the cage. The Syrian Teddy Bear Hamster is a more friendly type of hamster. @Amy Hughes: Syrian Hamsters are SOLITARY creatures which means you can only have one per cage!
Firstly, there is no such thing as a Teddy Bear Hamster. There are either Dwarf Hamsters or Syrian Hamsters. Teddy Bear, Fancy Bear, Panda Bear, Golden, Candy, Black Wolf, etc are just some fake names given to different coloured Syrian Hamsters to sell them at different prices. They are all the same, belonging to the Same Species. Now that I cleared that up, It depends on what you want. ?Dwarf hamsters, they are small and usually they like living in a group of 2 or 3. If you want more than one hamster, then you should go for Dwarf Hamsters. However, usually the Dwarf hamsters tend to bite ad trust their owners less, or hide when the owners approach unless they've gotten used to the owner. It may take a long time to tame them. There are exceptions, that's why I quoted the word usually. ?Syrian hamsters are of the large variety, with 2 kinds. Some have long fur and some have short fur. (The long haired Syrians are often falsely termed as Teddy Bear Hamsters). Syrian hamsters CANNOT be kept in pairs. They prefer to have their entire territory to itself. Any other hamster (considered as intruder) will definitely cause them to attack each other. I've seen it happen. The fights can be very dangerous, which can even lead to death. On the brighter side, Syrians are more friendly towards their owners and easier to tame. Yes, they do bite, only at first. They'll no longer bite once they get to know their owner. I've had 4 Syrian hamsters who loved to get out of their cages and climb on my bed and walk over me. I'd recommend ONE Syrian hamster. If your cage is large enough, the hamster will be very happy, assuming food and water being supplied and some quality time spent. (_( (=' :') --<I ?

If your cage is big, then I'd get two Syrian hamsters. However if the cage isn't so big, I'd suggest two Chinese hamsters. Both are lovely.
