Hello everyone I havent made a post on this forum for quite a while, but I thought you guys may be able to help
I have come home from university for christmas and my hamster seems to be acting really strange(more so than normally after she travels)
Normally after travelling she will be quite for a day or two but then shes back to her old self again, however it seems she has suddenly taken ill.
I will try to describe as best I can, she is being really lethargic sleeping all day and night, she used to be very active at night now she just lays there, and has around 30minutes of activness if that. Also when she does walkaround she tends to have her eyes closed like shes really tired. She does not want to sleep in her house anymore,instead she curls up in the corner ofher cage next to the house in some bedding and sleeps there.
Her breating has become very heavy! we can see her stomach going in and out and her heart is beating very quickly. She appears to have lost weight also and feels more fragile.
My hamster is around 1 year and 3months. I know they dont live that long
but surely its not time yet. Any help would be much appreciated thankyou x
