FAQs

How much should a hamster cost?

Hamsters generally cost between £12 and £20 at pet stores, depending on the breed. Syrian hamsters, including Teddy Bear varieties, usually cost around £18 to £20, while dwarf hamsters range from about £16 to £18. Hamsters purchased from private breeders may be more expensive, typically £40 to £60, reflecting better socialisation and breed quality.

Should I get 1 or 2 hamsters?

Whether to get one or two hamsters depends on the type. Syrian hamsters are solitary animals and prefer living alone. Dwarf hamsters can sometimes live in pairs or small compatible groups if provided with a large enough cage (minimum size around 60x60x30 cm for one hamster), but care must be taken to monitor for any fighting, ensuring they are compatible companions.

Can a hamster live 7 years?

No, hamsters typically have a lifespan of around 2 to 3 years. Both Syrian and dwarf hamsters generally live within this range, and it is uncommon for any hamster to live as long as 7 years.
