I've read that the average life span of a hamster is about 1000 days, which would be about 2 years and 9 months. The longest living hamster I had was about 2 years and 8 months old, which I figured out to be 965 days, pretty close to 1000! I know of other people who have had a hamster that lived 3 or 4 years.

This varies with the mosquito species and the time of the year. Some species may only live for less than a week, while others can live for several months over the winter months. (BACK)

Although staph can live on surfaces for days to weeks, it doesn’t mean that it will make a person sick. Staph has to get off the surface and onto someone’s skin, where the organism may or may not survive due to the presence of competing organisms. Even if it survives on someone’s skin, it may simply live on the skin and not cause an infection. In order to cause an infection there has to be a break in the integrity of the skin.

Well I guess that depends on who you talk to--Most farmers who are in the egg producing business will say 2 years. Those who are in the meat producing business will say 6 months--Those who keep birds as pets (with names) or who are not interested in maximum production of eggs, will find that chickens can live up to 8 or 10 years.

The average dog lives about 10-12 years. Unlike most animals, smaller breeds tend to live longer than larger ones.

In very general terms, the larger a bird is, the longer its life expectancy. For small birds, such as migratory songbirds (warblers, vireos, etc.) the average life expectancy may be as little as two years. This short life expectancy is due to the many hazards birds face from birth: predators, disease, accidents, migration, starvation, habitat loss, and hunting, among others. Some individual birds have survived surprisingly long, including a cardinal (13.

The grains or plant live, with proper care as long as their owners. Kefir cultures reproduce themselves and do not know a physical death. We recommend making one litre (1½ pints) each time, though quantities of up to 2 litres is possible. Clean the Kefir grains daily by placing them in a sieve then allow medium flow of water to wash through the grains.

A hamster can run for a distance of several kilometres or more in a night. So that is a lot of exercise. It is best to find a large solid plastic exercise wheel. Hamsters love to come out of their cage and run around a room in the late evening or early morning. If the cage has an easy access side opening then you can leave it open on the floor. The hamster will learn to come out and run around and then climb back into the cage on his own whenever he needs a rest.

Sometimes food might not be completely digested by going through the hamster once. So the hamster will eat it again. I have noticed that the lighter, brown coloured poos might be re-eaten but the black ones are left. You can e-mail me at "helen dot brinkworth at dhassa dot co dot uk" (just change the "dot" and the "at" for symbols and remove the spaces) with hamster questions. Or use the feedback form.

For a Syrian (non-dwarf) hamster, the length of gestation (pregnancy) averages 16 days. For dwarf hamsters, gestation is about 19 - 22 days.

A Desert Locust lives a total of about three to five months although this is extremely variable and depends mostly on weather and ecological conditions. The life cycle comprises three stages: egg, hopper and adult. Eggs hatch in about two weeks (the range is 10-65 days), hoppers develop in five to six stages over a period of about 30-40 days, and adults mature in about three weeks to nine months but more frequently from two to four months.

Once they reach the butterfly stage, most live an average of about 10 days. There are exceptions in the Conservatory. The Longwing butterflies can live 3 or more months.

Cairns can live well into their teens, and most are still very active and alert at 10 years of age and older.

There is no set time period for how long a FeLV+ cat will live. One person on the internet said they had a cat which lived for 20 years with the virus, while others have given dates as long as 10 or 12 years, although these are probably extremes. I have not found any truly long-term studies to document, but it seems that of the studies done, 83% of FeLV+ cats do not live beyond 4 years. (Hardy, et al 1980).

Washed sperm is supposed to only live for 6-12 hours, but sometimes as long as 24 -- not nearly as long as sperm can live in fertile cervical mucus (sperm can live up to 5 days in fertile mucus, 2-3 days being pretty common). This is why timing is so important.
