Hello,
My hamster, Artemis, is a hybrid and has had quite a dramatic coat change which has been beautiful to see. I have also noticed that around that time she got very irritable, began burrowing for the first time (so cool!), and also slowly lost a fair bit of weight. She is now slowly putting it back on and is no longer irritable but this all made her seem like a totally different animal. If I did not live alone I would genuinely have thought that someone had swapped her.
Is this normal? Is it irritating for them when their coat changes? Anyone else experience this?
