Hey, so you might be wondering how long those cute little hamsters from Petsmart will stick around for. Well, there’s no easy answer to that question, but I’ll try to break it down for you.
\nFirst off, it all depends on the breed of hamster you get.<\/p>\n
Syrian hamsters<\/a>, also known as “teddy bear hamsters,” tend to live for about 2-3 years, which is pretty good compared to some other small pets.<\/p>\n On the other hand, Dwarf hamsters<\/a>, which come in all sorts of breeds like Russian Dwarf, Chinese Dwarf, and Roborovski Dwarf, only live for about 1-2 years on average. Bummer, right?<\/p>\n In addition to breed, the way you feed and care for your hamster can also affect their lifespan. These little guys need a balanced diet with a variety of seeds, nuts, and fresh veggies to keep them healthy.<\/p>\n And of course, they need a clean and spacious cage<\/a> to live in. A dirty or overcrowded cage can lead to stress and illness, which can shorten your hamster’s lifespan.<\/p>\n
