hamster life span?

No.Some hamsters can live for 3-5 years.My hamster lived for 4 years!She is very adorable.Her birthday just passed and she is still living!:D So, I am going her a lot of attention.Although she is shedding,she is still very active and love cuddles!But she a "thing" in her ear but i don't know what it is!?I'm sooooooooo stressed!

It's only about two years. I know not long enough especially when you consider so many kids get them as pets. They can sometimes live longer but usually not much over 3 years and that is with a excellent care and a lot of luck. My neice has had a few now and she knows the one we have right now will be the last one. We've had him for just over a year and I dread when he goes. I'll miss him anyways but my neice will be heartbroken again.

Yes, it's quite true a hamster only has a life span of about two years. Both my granddaughters have had two hamsters, and neither of them lasted any longer than that time. I think males tend to live a little longer and sometimes survive for three years, but two years and nine months in a hamster's life is equivalent to about eighty years of a human's. They're very popular pets, but you need to be aware that they won't last too long and they do need to be cared for properly. Brightest Blessings.

Yes, the smaller the animal the shorter its lifespan. Why not get yourself a fish tank and some live breeders? They will replenish themselves before they die, and you won't have to worry about how much they smell. True, you won't be able to pet them, but you will still have the pleasure of watching them interact with each other, and they are really quite pretty.
