Mice will bite also which was another reason I didn't want them around my
son and his friends. They also had a funky smell no matter how clean we
kept them. Not to mention we already had a cat and several dogs at the
time.

Mice have a natural body odor that really smells nasty. No amount of
cleaning their cages can change that.

Now on the other hand, Hamsters have an enzyme in their spit that is a
deoderizer. Makes them smell as sweet as a kitty's fur.

My dog will see them run by in the ball and he gets the funniest look on his
face, I think he has no clue why or what..
I have a teddy bear hamster and a reg hamster, both black and furry, so
sweet, they will play together but since they were not little mates and
lived alone for some time I have not put them together, plus they are
male/female.
They do play nice together which I am glad for.
Funny story about my dog, I have a hermit crab who has been pulling escapes
every night (I am making him a new home) he climbed onto my dog the other
night, and the only thing that went though my head was oh god don't let him
clamp on to Eddie, just as I went to grab the crab Eddie stood up and
noticed him fall off, he spent most of the day barking at the crab and
looking around for him whining...strange animals in this house, the crab has
also climbed into the bunny cage. (guess he is looking for friends)
