the hamster is going to be a white winter russian hamster

it doesn't really matter. What i would do is go to the petsore and pick out 1 of each gender and hold or pet that hamster and see which one is more calm with you or which one doesn't bite you as much!
Most often stores only sell males, so that there are no "accidents". Personally, even if I had the choice, I would choose males, because they do not go into heat, and they are more layed back.
Females, on the other hand, tend to be a bit more territorial (believe it or not. I guess it's that motherly instinct) and so they're more tempermental.
In all, it's not the gender of the hamster that makes the difference, but more the breed. Russians are pretty easy going, along with teddy bears and dwarfs.
GIRL! actually, it doesnt matter, which ever one u see that u like best, stand near the cages, and let them choose you, if they dont leave from ur direction, they want u to buy them! thats what happened between me and my hamster scooter (male)
it's better to have a girl(female) hamster as males are a tee bit more aggressive. both are good though.
Males are more calm, while females are more energetic--depending on what you want to deal with every day. And of course, males have their junk that gets in the way. Both have pros and cons. Good luck.
quite frankly, it really doesnt matter what the sex is, but it does matter how they have been raised. my friend and i have been breeders for about two years now, and we have discovered that males and females are just as nice, both sexes, when they are hand raised and tamed from the time they are born. of course, not everyone gets their animal from a small hobbyist breeder like us, but they buy them from the pet store. now, at the pet store, there are some things you should consider.
1, none of them are tamed
2, females can be moody when in heat or having hormones
3, males cannot controle their testosterone
when the animals are not raised closely with people, they dont know what to do when their hormones and testosterone are out of balance, because they are moody and on top of that, they are experiencing something new (people). getting an animal that is not tamed is difficult, and for heavens sake if it is pregnant and untamed it is worse. however, the males can be testosterone charged alot too, so it really doesnt matter. females will have their moody times and males will have their moody times. and they are both untamed, so good luck trying if you get it from a pet store. if you choose to get one from a private breeder, like myself, it also doesnt matter, but they learn to handle their hormones, testosterone, and mood swings better around people because they are familiar already with us.
Hope this helps.
a female because a male really likes to bite. but if you would like babies i would consider getting both
I always found that our males were calmer and nicer. Our girls were the shy ones
Male hamsters have horrible-smelling urine!
My female hamster didn't smell even when she had her period- lol
She ( Cinnamon Puff) also Never bit me like my male (Hammy Davis Jr.) did!
Girl I had a girl hamster
Girls dont poop much XD
I personally prefer male hamsters because they are more friendly %26 when you buy them from the pet shop it is impossible for them to be pregnant which is a major bonus because quite a few female hamsters sold turn out to be pregnant!
