My Hamster Is Dead!!!
-
Yes. This morning, i saw one of the two normally active hamsters siting at a corner in the cage. On closer look, I saw that it was breathing hard and fast. I separated it as a precaution and brought it to another cage. In a short moment, he stopped breathing altogether. I saw that its eyes were half shut. I could also see that that was something black that looked like a seed but was not, between its hind legs. Buried it this afternoon under a tree.
Now, what's worrying me is that the other hamster seems to be quiet and lonely on day. His eyes seems to be half closed and sits at a corner all day long. Normally at this time of the day, it would be runnning up and down, running in the wheel etc. Depressed and lonely?
Guys, what do you think is the cause of the death of the hamster? Pnuemonia? Some respiratory problems? Both hamsters(roberovskis) are less than 3 months old.What can i do to get the other hamster up and running again?
Real sad about the whole thing. -
Maybe the hamster kena SARS
Seriously, i think you should bring the remaining one to the vet ASAP..just to be safe... -
I used to have 3 roberovskis, they die really easily... maybe your hamster contracted some sort of virus or maybe it dies of old age, it's really hard to tell actually...
As for your remaining hamster, maybe it's just feeling lonely, maybe can give it some nice treats or something. Maybe it's just not used to being alone for now -

vet so expensive. just throw away and buy new ones.Originally posted by PaJeRoMiNi Ver 1.0:Maybe the hamster kena SARS

So sad to hear your hammies died. Me hammies usually die of old age or fight with others then the throat kena bite then die. Usually our family will use hard paper to build a miniature coffin to put the hammie in and then take it to some park to bury.
I have seen other pet rearers just throw the dead hammies into the rubbish chute!!! Come on, wait next time you reborn become a hammie than you know

Hey guys, speaking of hamsters.. does anyone know if its ok to give them a little wash up? like soak them in water for a while cos they stink like hell. Will it kill them or something?

f I were you, I wouldn't dare to keep rodents as pets anymore. I can't imagine the shock and horror upon seeing the smaller rat's head gone.
