Hamster sneezing - new ham mum panicking
Please help a new hamster mum
Just got a hamster a couple of days ago, and he started sort of sneezing.
I read that it might be either allergy, or cold. I want to take him to the vets, but at the same time don't want to stress him out too much.
I have changed his bedding (from beech shavings to Carefresh), but it didn't stop.
It got a bit colder in the past days (16-22°C outside during the day, we live on the first floor, facing East and with lots of shade, so it feels like it's colder inside:/). Just in case I wrapped his cage in blankets and put heating pads outside of it (near his little house).
He acts and eats normally. His eyes and nose also seem pretty fine. But I am still rally concerned
I am really worried and don't understand whether I am overreacting or not.
Please, lovely humans, give some advice.
Here you can view a short clip of him sneezing (sorry for the bad quality - my phone has been going crazy lately, but you can hear the sounds) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCHu-0QyiIs

Re: Hamster sneezing - new ham mum panicking
My hammy did that for the first couple of days. I, like you, got concerned. Maybe see how it is for a little while longer and if it persists, take him to the vet. If it is a cold, there should not be much to worry about but if it is a disease such as pneumonia, you have a problem. Dont be worried about your hammy getting stressed when taking him to the vet as his safety should be a priority. Sorry that this wasnt very useful but hey ho!
Good luck x

Re: Hamster sneezing - new ham mum panicking
It's hard to tell if he's sneezing or just being vocal while exploring, but I would just keep an eye on him for a few days as he settles in unless he shows any signs of being unwell.
