Thank you all so much for the advice. I'm so happy I got it from all perspectives. I certainly have a lot to think about now.

We had one for his 7th birthday, invited about 8 classmates to the bowling alley, had pizza and cake. He really enjoyed it, but I noticed the other kids were playing with each other and my son was still mostly an observer on his own birthday.

My son was adamant about wanting a hamster for Christmas. He was lucky and Santa brought him one. He loves the little guy.
