Syrian hamsters

Asked the kids ,but they went on about the one we had ,then it died,loads of tears etc etc


but found this online

"The Syrian Hamster is a solitary animal and will not usually live with another past 8-10 weeks of age and so it is important that they are housed separately as serious fighting, even death can occur if more than one are kept in the same cage. The Syrian Hamster is nocturnal, usually waking during the evening.
The Syrian Hamster makes a good pet and easy enough for small children to handle under supervision. The average lifespan is 2-2½ years although they can live longer and up to 3-4 years is not too unusual."

Best of luck - i would have taken them ,but the kids didnt think it best ,saying as we have a cat - which we had when we last had a hamster :rolleyes::rolleyes:
