Re: Older hamster not eating his food
Thank you Coco. I think you may be right that a vet visit won’t help since he couldn’t spot anything wrong last time. It’s probably just old age but I’ll keep an eye on it. If he goes below 140g I think I will bring him in again.
Vierville Quigley happily takes sunflower seeds and nuts. He just won’t eat his mix anymore. We have got around that problem by feeding him his mix crushed up and mixed with water (he will eat most of this). Problem is, he is still losing weight and is now at 159g (used to be 205g). This makes me think that the weight loss may not be due to under eating.
