He feared that his will was to weak and he would succumb to the temptations of the ring.

extended answer: Gandalf was not only "good" but also a very powerful wizard. Because he is good, the "evil" ring had a very strong effect on him. If he were to be turned evil by the ring, he would be very destructive. Frodo was "neutral" so when he picked up the evil ring, it wasn't directly opposite to his core nature, like it was to Gandalf

In 'The Hobbit' how is Bilbo different from other hobbits?

Gollum was first known as smeagul but once he found the ring and killed his brother he was then known as Gollum (he got this name when the ring took controlled of him and he started making the chocking noise sounding like the word Gollum). He had the one ring for hundreds of years giving him unnatural long life. He became fixed on the ring and would kill anyone who would take it like he tried to do to Bilbo once he noticed he had lost it. Gollum would not give the ring up easily and tried to take it from Frodo in The Lord Of The Rings. Bilbo had it for much shorter time, so part of his own mind was still in control and was not as obbsessed with the ring as Gollum, and was able to find the will to give it up and pass it on to his adopted heir, Frodo Baggins.
