Concerned about my Trembling hamster???

[Skwee]

could it be that he was sniffing? because when hamsters are sniffing new scents, you cant hear them sniffing but they do vibrate loads when they sniff and that feels like trembling! and also when they are in the cage and sniffing, you can hear the levels 'buzzing' when the sniff and vibrate on them.



*wonders if the word 'vibrating' goes with hamsters or if it sounds crazy*

Skittles does it most when I first pick him up, otherwise he does not seem to do it. So maybe its just because he is excited about getting out to play. Or it also could be him sniffing my hand. He is not afraid like he was before, he has gotten much better.

Skittles is so adorable and looks so healthy now. You have done a great job and he is a lovely tame boy now. Bet you love him to bits!

Thank you!! Yes, I love him!!! We had company over for Thanksgiving and a few of our guests wanted to see Skittles. They were all adults so no worries about little kids handling him. Skittles was very good doing a short meet and greet with my relatives. I kept the visit short. Skittles seemed to like all the attention. I broke a strawberry yogurt drop into pieces and I used that as a reward.
