Syrian hamster - 2-3 years Dwarf - 1-2 years
They can live up to 3 at the average "old" age. Some live older!
WOW! Your hamster lived over-age usually hamsters live 1-3 years! So maybe your hamster in hamster years is 100!!!!
If the 1 year old hamster is a syrian hamster DO NOT put another hamster with it. They are hamsters that NEED to be alone. If it is a dwarf, hamster, it might be ok. Dwarf hamsters like having each others company. However, if the 1 year old hamster is not use to other hamsters, it might not go over to well.
well maybe yes if the old hamster owners don't clean the cage for the other hamster to live in!
A Goldern hamster is able to live on its own at 5 weeks old.
For ten months, the hamsters would be around 5 or 6 years old and 1 whole year is about FIFTY years!! 1 actual year is 25 hamster years which means about 14.6 days is one hamster year :D
no they only live to about 2 years old definetly not !
No a hamster cannot die of lonelyness because they are supposed to live by themselves unless it is a mom with her less than 6 week old babies..
