Default Is my hamsters breathing okay?

I just checked on my hamster, he's going to be 3 years old next month and his breathing looked a little off to me. Usually he breathes so softly in his sleep that I have to really focus to see if he's breathing, but right now he's breathing very rapidly and his whole body almost looks like it's convulsing from it. I have uploaded a video to YouTube so people can see what I mean.

Is this normal? Should I be concerned? I know he's very very old and doesn't have much longer left but I don't want him to pass from illness.

Default Re: Is my hamsters breathing okay?

My two dwarf hamsters usually breathe rapidly while sleeping since they are dwarfs. I’m not sure if it’s abnormal for Syrian but sometimes I have to check on them to see if they are breathing either as they are sleeping on their backs therefore it’s hard to tell. Hopefully your hamster is doing fine and some hamster expert will notice your thread soon!
