Default Re: Hamsters keep dying!

It may just have been bad luck and the hamsters have passed away young. Where did they come from? It could be that the lines are not long lived or have some genetic problem leading to perhaps a heart weakness or some other illness which could cause them to pass away suddenly.
I hope the other hamsters are with you for a lot longer. There is quite a variation in lifespan withing the different species.
