I have 2 hamsters from the same litter, a boy and a girl (in separate cages) I have had hamsters for 21years and normally can look after my fur babies with no issues, But My little boy Shadow has me confused, I got him and his sister Pebbles on christmas eve from a family friend, they were 6 weeks old, Shadow belongs to my 9yr old son and Pebbles is mine, My son found Shadow last night unresponsive in his cage, He isnt stiff, his limbs move, he just wont wake or repond tgo anything, I thought he had gone into Torpor, and have spent all day today trying to warm him, using all methods known to man... nothing, Ive even fed him warm porridge, he didnt even try to take it... Is Shadow at the bridge even if he is soft?? Does rigor mortis not happen?? or does it leave hamsters quickly?? And why would a 10 week old hamster die with no reason, he was very well looked after.
Sorry if this is a long post, Im very upset.
Is my baby hamster at rainbow bridge??? :(
