Rodney is the boy i rescued from a bad situation when he was still a baby so he's been here almost all his life.
Parasites can come from insects and they do get into the house. It was probably a pantry moth!!
Could be from food but i can't see how this could be possible. Or another hamster without symptoms, who knows. Rodney could have had them for ages without symptoms but now that he's old he doesn't have the same resistance.
I hope the dear old boy will make it. The treatment itself is toxic and may be too much for him to handle. He's sleeping in a hide just now....
