- Hamsters typically live between 1.5 and 3 years in captivity, with an average lifespan of about 2 to 2.5 years.
- Hamsters come in a diverse range of colours, with Syrian hamsters offering the most variety—including gold, black, white, cream, cinnamon, sable, and grey—often combined with patterns like bands or spots. Dwarf species, such as Winter Whites, typically come in agouti (wild brown), sapphire (blue-grey), or pearl.
