Dwarf hamsters generally live 2-3 years, with most around 2 years and a few reaching about 3 years. Lifespan is influenced by factors such as sex and number of litters; generally, unmated females live longer than males, and the more a female breeds the shorter her life tends to be.
Dwarf hamsters are small, so owners must care for them very carefully during keeping to avoid accidental death.
