Is It Diabetes?
I recently made a post about my three month old winter- white's diabetes, where I mentioned he had high ketones and glucose.
However, the strange thing is that he doesn't have any other symptoms- he only drinks about 5 ml per day, doesn't urinate excessively, isn't losing weight, and doesn't have excessive hunger. He also still acts like a perfectly healthy, happy hamster.
To me, this seems unusual. Is there any possible explanation other than diabetes, or has anyone had a similar experience?
Thank you.

Re: Is It Diabetes?
That does sound a little strange, I don't know of any other conditions that would show that, how frequently have you been testing his urine? Are the results consistent?

Re: Is It Diabetes?
All the sticks have shown the same, and we have been testing him every few days. At first they only showed glucose, but now they show ketones too, but if I hadn't have tested him out of curiosity I wouldn't have known, because he has none of the symptoms.
Thank you for your response.

Re: Is It Diabetes?
I really don't know what else it could be then sorry, I've never heard of a diabetic ham being asymptomatic.
Just a thought but have you tried using different batches of test sticks in case any are a bit dodgy?

Yep. Luckily his ketones have gone back down now. Thank you for your help.

Re: Is It Diabetes?
I'm not sure I helped much at all really but good to hear the ketones have come down now.
