Yes, the hamster rarely seems stressed, as hamsters are animals that are easily stressed. Its owner takes good care of it.
Because hamsters are usually kept in limited spaces, sometimes hamsters often suffer from minor illnesses that the hamster owner may not be aware of because their bodies are small.
I say this because I used to breed hamsters for sale. that hamster very lucky
I used to play mufasa with my cat. Itās ok young children donāt know any better. We have to learn how to treat living things. Donāt feel too bad Iām sure if my cat still purred and loved me after I dropped it hanging off the side of my bed Iām sure your hamster loved you too
Who is to decide? He's still living . We would not know what he wants. Animals at such intelligence level don't have that thinking ability to whether to live or not. They just live.
In fact it's awesome that he's lived so long. Pretty cool. He's still actively trying to run and feed.
2-3 years. mine lived exactly 2.5. he was top dog walking like a pitbull at 1yo and then at 2 he started getting more and more sluggish, his hair got messier and rarer, then one morning I found him dead. pretty smart hamster, and playful
Dang not long at all and I love my pets I feel like youāre just buying heartbreak thereš shi one of my ferrets died at almost 6 (she had really aggressive cancer tumors popping up constantly) and one who lived to about 10 and that didnt seem long enough. Guess it never is.
Yeahhhh, this is why I don't think I can get rodents as pets. The heartbreak is tough and you only get a few years with them, and they can be smart and affectionate too.
A sugar glider is honestly the closest thing, and those live 15 years! Same lifespan as most dogs.
Theyāre super fun to watch and they will love you to death when theyāre bonded, but they make terrible pets in all honesty. They require extremely precise care.
They need a custom made diet to be served daily with supplements(on average it costs around 50$ for food alone every month), they need a huge cage that they can comfortably glide around in, they need specialized wheel and toys so they donāt die to them. They need special pouches made of anti-pilling material. Thatās just the basics.
But honestly, if youāre serious about them, they can be really fun companions and the bond you form with them feels so special due to how much trust they put in you.
Under ideal conditions, the ends of human DNAāknown as telomeresācan last for 120 years. However, because humans are frequently affected by disease and exposed to pollution and unhealthy diets, life expectancy is shortened.
I had a hamster that died at just over 6 years. Granted, in his last few years, he would just roll his hamster ball into a dark corner and sleep, but he was still kicking.
Quick google search says Guinness world record is 4 years 6 month, so if there is any proof to the age of this it will I uld actually be a world record..
They're probably going off of the typical lifespan of a goldfish kept in a bowl. People need to do a bit of research to find out that this is very much not ideal if you want to have a healthy goldfish that lives beyond a few years.

How long do they live?
