Re: Hamster deaths
Yeah my first thoughts would be similar. Disease transmission through toys or the cage, environmental hazards (include carbon monoxide in this, get an alarm if you don't have one) and then just plain bad luck/ genetics.
The only real way to know cause of death is to ask a vet to do a necropsy and a) a lot of vets won't know enough about hamsters, b) would cost a fortune. Most of the time you just never know.
