Re: Vibrating (Purring?)
Here's another interesting comment from another pet forum:
"I know why hamsters are prone to vibrate, and it is NOT diabetes.
It is a form of "purring" and a sign of pleasure and contentment. It is a GOOD thing when a hamster vibrates. Mine does it only when I let him crawl around free and especially when he meets new people.
It is a low frequency vocalization under 20 Hz, so we can't really hear it but we feel it instead."

Re: Vibrating (Purring?)
Thistle & Pippy will 'vibrate' if they come into contact between cage bars but this is usually a sign of 'excited fear'/'fight or flight' with them. Its almost as if you can feel the adrenalin rushing through their tiny bodies :L

Re: Vibrating (Purring?)
When I pick up my Syrian hamster, she vibrates. I don't think she is scared because she seems very relaxed.
