Default Re: Hunched back

This is extremely difficult in knowing what to do, but in reality, it could be something really serious. A hamster I rescued showed these signs and he had a buildup of fluid in his spine, ruptured disk or broken back, the vet didn't do an x-ray but he was certain it was one of those. They can get operated on but it's expensive. I think I'd take him to the vets if I was you. Keeping him for longer will possibly worsen the problem, and it will also bond you closer to him, and if it was something serious then it'd be harder to come to terms with. Sorry that this is probably not what you want to hear!

Definitely take him to the vets, it could be other things too, and I really hope he is okay and that's it's nothing too serious. Let us know how he gets on, and best of luck for Haru x
