A hamster can live at most about 4 years. The average lifespan is 2 to 3 years, and if the hamster is in good health with no serious illness, a few can reach 3 to 4 years. To help a hamster live longer, the owner should care for it attentively, such as changing its drinking water often, cleaning its habitat regularly, and feeding it correctly. Without proper care, even a common cold or diarrhea can be fatal.
In addition, besides feed, the owner can offer fresh fruits and vegetables to supply vitamins and boost the hamster’s resistance.
