How Big....

Question
Hi Karen,
How big will my Shorthaired Syrian Hamster get? He is 3 months old right now and I am wondering if he will get bigger. When do they stop growing? How big is the average Shorthaired hamster?
Sarah

Answer
Hi Sarah,

    Syrian Hamsters generally grow to be 5-7 inches long and are usually done growing by the time they reach 6 months of age. So your little guy has a little more growing to do.
