prolonging a hamsters lifespan!

Although its true that doing your best to give them all the care they need will help them to stay happy and healthy for as long as possible.
No one can predict how long a hamster will live and they can be so fragile.

I kiss my hammies all the time (apart from when I am ill) And I get kisses back Ok so hamsters don't understand what it means, but I like to show them I love them. I love cuddling their soft fur on my face

I agree that it does depend on genetics. As long as you give your hamster the best care possible it will live a full happy life. It may extend his life by months but it is not a guarantee.
