What is the averange life span of a hamster?

Answer 1

The average life span for a Syrian (Teddy Bear) hamster is approx. 1-2 years of age. But, with my experience, I have had hamsters live to be 4 and 5 years old. This may be very different for dwarf hamsters though.

Answer 2

I have been told that they to around 2 years on afew webpages, but then on some others I heard that if you do a good job with them, they can live up to 5 years. I've had dwarf hamsters, and they lived for about a year each, so Im guessing the two years is right! Im getting a teddy bear hamster tomarow, so I've been doing some reasurch!
