Hi! I have a male syrian hamster, around 6 months old, and recently i've noticed a change in behavior. I'm taking him to the vets once they open, but i was wondering if there is anything i can do while i wait.
Gigi (my hamster) usually wakes up around 8-9pm, but recently he hasn't been waking up until 10:30/11pm. I try to wake him up gently - lights still off, gently rustling his bedding/putting food out, but he just opens his eyes a little as if saying "nope, im sleeping, dont wake me" and he doesn't move out of his bed.
He has also recently been making chattering noises, they sound a bit like " t t t t t t t t" and every so often i see his upper abdomen expand at the sides and then contract quickly, as if he is gasping or hiccupping.
I'm really worried about him, is there anything i can do?
