Hi everyone!! My boy Des had a spinal injury or a stroke as he's dragging his back legs. Doesn't look like he is bothered still eating and drinking and "zooming" when on the sofa. I will not put him to sleep if he is still a happy (as somewhat angry but thats his personality) hamster. We got him an Alaska to have more floor space instead of a tunnel and a platform. Someone suggested to have a towel instead of a bedding so he can walk easier. He does appear to walk faster on a sofa. Looking if anyone had experience with a disabled hamster.
