sometimes dwarf hamsters can live together, but not always. they can be finicky about their territory. Syrian hamster cannot live together under any cercomstances...

the average live span of a syrian hamster is 2-4 years depending... i had one live for 5 years before!! but then i also only had one live for just over a year as well..

A Russian Hamster can live up to 2 years. The average life span is 18 months.. also an average.


the average campbell dwarf hamster can live to be about 2 years depending.. this is also just an average....

chinese hamsters can live to 2.5-3 years average..
