Syrian Hamster Lifespan. Unusually in the animal world males seem to outlive females on average. Before buying any pet it is a good idea to have an idea of their life span.
The syrian hamster lifespan is about 2 3 years. The longest living scientifically documented syrian hamster lived 3 9 years. It is possible but rare for these animals to live as long as five years.
The oldest syrian hamster on record lived to the ripe age of 6 and a half.
2 to 2 5 years. The syrian hamster can be obtained relatively easy from your local pet shop or breeder. This means you can expect an average healthy syrian hamster to have a life expectancy of 2 3 years. So if we care about our pets we try to compensate by making every day a good one.
