Default Re: How long do they live?

I'll list the ones I can remember had a fair few hams over the years.

Syrians:
Sassy - Female - 1 day before her 5th birthday.
Smokey - Male - Around 4 - Got wet tail, went in to hibernation and died coming out.
Tiger - Male - 3
Storm - Male - Around 2
Pepper - Male - Around 3
Lucky - Female - 2
Sky - Female - 2 years 2 months
Spirit - Around 1.5 years
Izzy is currently nearly 2 Hoping she goes on as well as Sassy did.

Dwarfs:

Sebastian - Male - 2-3 years - Blind ham.
Cream & Nutmeg - Female - 5 months. - Had an accident with an escaped snake
Creme - Female - 1.6
Caramel - Female - 1.5
Jasmine - Female - About 2
Esmerelda - Female - Almost 3 - Old age
Batty - Female - 1 year 8 months
Tiny - Female - 1 year 2 months - Inbred pup from Batty
Diesel - Male - 1 year 5 months - Inbred pup from Batty
Scruff - Male - Around a year - Inbred pup from Batty
Scoober - Male - Around a year - Inbred pup from Batty
Demon - Male - Around a year - Inbred pup from Batty
Mack - Male - Around a year - Inbred pup from Batty
Sniff - Male - Around a year - Inbred pup from Batty

I've noticed that over the years hams lifespan has dropped a fair amount, out of the hams who's ages I can remember my first ham and her two brothers lived the longest. Whether thats because they were from a private breeder not a shop I don't know. But e have never had hams that lived that long since.
