Hello everybody. I'm just wondering if you can help me as I am not too familiar with owning hamsters. We recently purchased two Russian Dwarf Hamsters. As they fought a bit when they got home, we separated them into two separate cages quickly. Since then the more passive one has really perked up and she loves doing circuits of her cage, leaping on the wheel and going round again! However, the more aggressive one seems to have gone downhill. It's just gone midnight and she has barely woken up. The last time was about 30 mins ago and she just flung round some bedding ate something small and went back to bed. A couple of days ago, I noticed that she was really going for the water bottles, so I wondered if she was dehydrated. So I tried dropping some water in her mouth using a little dropper. After a couple of drops, she wasn't interested. I have also made sure that both of her water bottles are working OK. She does appear to be eating, but not as much as the other one. I also think she is a bit more aggressive to us lately although it's so tricky to tell as we aren't getting much time to interact with her as she is barely awake when we are. I can't find any signs of diarrhoea, although I don't think she is gaining weight particularly. So what I want to know is do you think she's ill? If so is it worth taking her to the vet? I'm mainly asking the second question as I'm wondering what they could actually do to help her? Thanks!
