Nightmares?

[Playtime]

Hello My Hamster squeaks when hes sleeping is it a nightmare? or something normal hes completely asleep and I have no idea what this is, it has happened three times so far usually around the same time... it been to some squeaking to a ton of squeaking and I woke him up once when he was squeaking and he squeaked several times

Hi Playtime, sounds like normal hammy-dreaming to me. Is he otherwise healthy, bright when awake and eating/drinking? How old is he and how long have you had him? Assuming he is healthy it sounds cute to me and I'd love a video xx

[Playtime]

He's very very healthy hes eating exercising and drinking but when ever I wake him up from it he jumps a TON and ik he just got startled but it's a lil different then that I've had for about 4 months and his age is either 7 or 8 months old

Idk how to send a video D:

Well Playtime, I suggest you don't wake him up from it Seriously, being woken up suddenly from a deep dream would make anyone jump. I think he sounds fine, just let him sleep, squeeky-dream, and wake up on his own. It's best to let the hams sleep and not wake them up anyway.
You can load a video to photobucket and post the link here I think.

I totally agree with Piebald, squeaking in their sleep is quite normal so nothing to worry about! One of mine does it all the time.
I agree about not waking hams too, they really don't like it.
The best way to post a video is to upload either to Youtube or Photobucket (Photobucket videos don't always work though!) & post a link here.

They so hate being woken up but, love to wake us up lol!
I call the squeaks hamster dreams.

Lol they do wake us up don't they? Well I don't wake him up much at all unless emergency my sister will though he would be better at the pet store then with her!!! She's absolutely evil to him so sad, she gave him to me gave! To look after cause she's moving out soon, well guess what she hasn't and her plan was give it to me clean his cage, wake him up, yell in his face, hurts him a bit!!! And his hideout she leaves it out and he stares at it he's in it every day and even every night but she's my big sister so I can't do nothin!!!!!

[Playtime]

She also picks him up the claw way not the scoop up he always runs to his hideout cause he's scared!!

The poor hammy having to put up with that. He's better of with you, tell her he's yours now. Tell her you'll report her for cruelty to animals.
You obviously care about him and more suitable to taking care of him.
