What is the difference in attitude in golden hamsters and dwarf hamsters?

I am trying to decide what hamster I should get and the Petco near me does not have golden hamsters but it has dwarf hamsters. I have heard that dwarf hamsters bite, but they are cute. So are golden hamsters, but I have herd that they escape! Help!

1. I don't know anything about golden hamsters, but my friend has a dwarf hamster. She is moving to California so she is giving me her hamster. Dwarf hamsters are great. They are small and cute. They do bite sometimes, but it depends on what type of dwarf hamster you get. My friend's current hamster nibbles a little if he doesn't know your scent, but in the past she has had some dwarf hamsters that dint bite at all. If golden hamsters escape you might not want to get one. P.S. My friend also had a dwarf hamster that escaped, but she found it. I hope this helped. Good luck!
