Why does my male Syrian hamster squeak?

What’s the best way to mate a Syrian hamster?

To mate the hamsters place the male and female Syrian in a neutral space – such as a cardboard box- or in the male’s cage. NEVER put the male in the female’s cage – she will attack him, and possibly cause serious injury. If the female is “standing” leave them together for about 20 minutes.

How often does a Syrian hamster come into season?

I recently got a syrian hamster, a month ago, and she’s 2 months old. I was just wondering how old some of the Syrians had lived. I know that 2 years old is old, but I know that once they reach 3, they can die at any time. So, I wanted to know if anyone has a syrian over the age of 2.5-3 years old. If anyone does, tell me how old they are.
