I believe it's anywhere between 2-5 years depending on breed, but of course they can live longer than that. Alot depends on their enviorment, what they eat, exercise, etc. Hope this helps.

The average life span for a hamster is 2-3 years with proper care. But people have had hamsters for longer than that. Its all about how there cared for.

The average lifespan varies from species to species. Dwarf and Campbell hamsters, and Chinese hamsters, usually live from 1.5 to 2 years. Syrian hamsters usually live from 2 to 3.5 years, with an average age of 18 months to 3 years. A rare few can live over four years, but this should not be expected.
