Sneezing?

Josiesloth · 03-16-2018, 08:06 AM

Hello my Syrian hamsters has started doing a weird sneeze thing! I don't quite know how to describe it, he will suddenly do like 5 sneezes in a row then will start running around like crazy and rubbing himself against things. He's only done it 2 times and it only happens when he's out of his cage.I've been trying to google it for a few days and am struggling to find out what this is any help or advice would be appreciated xx

Is there any dust where you get him out? Maybe it's that? I'm not an expert tho so hopefully someone else will know more.

Have you used any sprays or cleaning things with a strong smell in the room, any other animals been about? It could be any number of things causing him to sneeze but it sounds like he's also busy scent marking everything!

I got two new little dwarfs about 4 weeks ago now, I don't know if that could be making him act like this?

It could well be the new hams causing him to act like that, if it is that he should soon get used to them & settle down again.

Thank u, he hasn’t done the sneezing thing for awhile now so hopefully it was just the new hammys x
