Re: 3 to 4 mo. old hamster passed away - blaming myself
Wow what an exciting household you have!
And kudos on doing all the research! Tbh, torpor isn't mentioned much and it's wrongly noted as hibernation much of the time. One of those hamster myths that has continued.
If you do get again I would scatter feed or fill a bowl for a few days rather than try to feed. Hamsters are natural foragers and hoarders so that is more in line with their nature.
The hamster haven is a great cage, just most advisse to remove the tubes.
I hope it doesn't put you off hammies in the future. The all have such beuatiful, unique personalities and howver long they decide to stay with us, that time should always be treasured with no regrets
