Is it completely unheard of for a dwarf hamster to live 4 years?
i know the life expectancy for a dwarf hamster is 2 years. my friend was moving away and she gave me her dwarf hamster which was already supposedly old. when i got it, it was slow, shakey, and had thin hair. she said that it probably woulnd live much longer, it was already a year and a half old. but the silly little thing lived at my house for two whole years. so my guess is that he was either he was young and just looked scroungy or he was super duper old. is it possible for a dwarf hamster to live 3.5 years?

It's rare but it does happen. Let's just hope that you're one of those lucky owners.

The fact that we are living and breathing and able to do all these things. The fact that we are not rocks and some divine coincidence made use who we are instead of some inorganic atom. The fact we can give things worth. We can categorise. Its all beautiful, the sight, the sound, the feel, the emotion, the taste. Even pain. We can feel that not many other things can. Pain may be painful, but we can feel it just as we can feel happy. Its amazing really that out of all of this we can do these things. Although it seems to suck sometimes its still wonderful. random fact: if you shoot a rabbit, it doesnt know why it feels pain, it doesn't register that there is an explanation, it just knows it feels pain and as a reaction will run away, even if its dying. Shoot a human (even if they did not know what a gun was) it would realise its something launched, have some sort or knowledge of what to do and so on. I dont think this was relevant but its written now... But if youre looking for one reason it would definitely be pie.

Yeah, of course it's possible. Believe it or not, my brother had a hamster who was 7. He would have lived longer, hadn't he fallen in a bucket of water and drowned.

No. Actually it's a good thing because if your hamster lived a long life that means that you took really good care of it :)

No, if the hamster is really well cared for, it can live up to that.
Not the most common thing though!!! :D
Good Luck!!! :P
