About a year, if you keep a couple of eggs and let them hatch, they're a perpetual pet.

As I said, they're constantly laying eggs, which sit dormant until they're warmed up. I put some on the radiator and they hatched.
They are a very good pet.

Although a better pet would be the pair of Degus in 'Pets At Home' in Bromborough. I wanted them, but I'm a bit too old for that now.
