Default Re: I think my chinese Twinkle-toes has diabetes :(

Poor little Twinkle. I think you're right about taking her to the vet this week if she doesn't perk up. If you're worried she might be in pain then don't wait to get test strips. You can always take a wee sample with you for the vet to dip. Vets don't always have much experience with diabetic hamsters so you may want to take some information with you.

The cucumber sounds a good idea, as do the other things you have got her. I checked in Hamsterlopaedia and cataracts can be diabetes related.
