Average Age For Dwarf Hamsters2007-11-24 21:58:16

I got two Dwarf Hamsters about over a year ago which makes me assume that my dwarfs are over one year old but less than a year and half. Are they considered to be old right now? I am hoping to keep them for another year or so.

Alright, ignore the idiots who answered below me. Dwarf hamsters, are different then REGULAR HAMSTERS. I've been researching hamsters for the last week and a half. Dwarf hamsters live for about one & a half years, although they rarely live longer. So i'd start saying your goodbyes to the little thing.

Hamsters live for about 2-3 years.

They can live up to 2 years--some live longer, but it's unusual--and the average is 18 months.

Syrian hamsters tend to live longer (2-3 years).

Hamsters have an average life span of 100 days. Yours are middle aged. I would assume they have a year left, but they could get sick sooner than that. My dwarf hamsters seem to get sick early and rake up medicine bills.

I would say your hamsters are about "middle-aged."

I read somewhere that hamsters live 2-3 years.

If you care for them correctly they could live for a few years. I've had 3 and they lived for: 3 years, 4 years, and 3 years.
