Hamsters thrive on plenty of playtime, and they are one of the lightest-weighing pets you can own.
So how much does a hamster weigh?
Shockingly, a hamster weighs as little as 0.5 ounce (0.014 kg) to as much as a whopping 10.5 ounces (0.299 kg).
How Much Do Hamsters Cost?
You can buy a hamster for between $11 and $25.
While it seems that a hamster is a low-maintenance pet, the cost seems to be made higher by the extras that are required when having one.
For example, you will need to buy a hamster wheel for around $25 and a cage for about $40.
Average Lifespan Of A Hamster:
Hamsters scurry along in life for anywhere between 1.5 to 3 years.
Strangely enough, a hamster is considered elderly when it is 1.5 years old. And we think we’re getting old every year!
What Do Hamsters Eat?
Hamsters love to eat several vegetables and fruits like broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, grapes, apples, cherries, and strawberries.
No doubt, their favorite foods are the carrots and fruits because they are higher in sugar. Be that as it may, a small block of food is all a hamster needs for their meal.
~ Fun Fact ~
Regrettably, hamsters can catch colds from their owners. So they need their owners to keep their hands washed well.
