Best Answer

About 4 weeks Basically, the pups should start eating and drinking on their own at about 3 weeks. It's best to keep them with the mother for maybe a week after that (although some people separate them immediately when they see the babies eating).

Hamsters typically live from 1-3 years. However, if they are taken care of with healthy living conditions, they can live 4 or 5 years!
