Wow! That’s a lot of info! ��. She is mot very old- maybe 8-9 months. The vet did not administer anesthesia- so he just clipped them and did nothing else. I’m hoping that she just needs time to adjust to her new, trim teeth before being able to eat properly. I do put out hard food daily. One day the bowl was empty- so I’m not sure if that means she can eat? Can hamsters put food in their cheek whole? I’m so clueless!! Tonight, I gave her 2 small slices of carrot from a baby carrot. I’m trying the suggestion of trying a different treat! She was still burrowed when I went to sleep so I’ll see in the morning if they’re gone.

We feed her oxbow hamster food. She loves it every night I put some in hot water and it turns to mush in about 3 min. I put this in her tank and she gobbled it up. I’m just so nervous to stop doing this. I can’t bear the thought of her going hungry because she can’t eat properly.
