Pet for 6 year old

My little girl turns 6 in a week and she really wants a hamster. Grandma is paying for animal and cage and expenses so leave cost out of it.
I've read online where they can be difficult. Can anyone confirm? I've also read where Guinie pigs are much better but must be in pairs and not sure I want two.
I'm looking for minimal maintenance.
Thanks is advance

dude, it's a hamster
make sure it had food and water and change the bedding every few weeks or so and you're good
just have to be a little careful when it's eating, they will bite

Hamsters smell awful

We have a hamster for our nearly 6 year old. He's worked out pretty well. The first 6 months were dicey because we brought the little bastard home and my genius wife stuck her hand in to pull him out the box and got bit. About an hour later the kid(4 at the time) went in there and got her arse bit too sticking her hand in it's cage. I called him vampster for a while there. Fast forward six months and he's very tame. We put him in the ball, hold him and let her pet him or feed him. Watch him bury shite in his cage, etc.
I like him because unlike the fricking cat we had; I don't have to spend $1,000 on it when it gets sick. He just gets replaced.

Fish. Feed daily, clean bowl once a week. Flush. Repeat.

Same thing when I was a kid. Had a few get loose on our property and had an infestation for a while until the owls/hawks tuned them up.

Pit bull. I hear they are grey with kids.

Alligator is your best choice at this point. They are not difficult, all you need to do is feed it live animals (any pesky neighbors' pets that need to disappear?) and you'll be good to go.

Every kid deserves a dog. Just don't get a small yapper. They will NOT house train.

Get her a fish. If she wants to hold/coddle the hamster and squeezes too hard, bye bye hamster.
