Norby's doing great on his babyfood but has been ignoring his hamster food a bit, think it was too much hard work compared to his mush. So I broke all his food into smaller bits and opened all his sunflower seeds (spoilt? Norbert? Nooo!) and he's much happier with it now.

Tucking in

(Aren't male hamsters horribly proportioned? )

Vegan_Bunny found him as an adult stray and brought him to me in January 2012, so he's at the very least 2 years and 9 or 10 months. I wish I knew his exact age, he's doing so well!

Do they have about the same life span as Syrians ?

I think Chinese hammies are a bit more likely to live up to three years than the other species of hamster. I assumed he was quite old when I got him (he didn't act like my other "young" hamsters) so didn't expect to still have him two and a half years later
