Pet Forum / Mammals / Hamsters / July 2007

i posted recently about trouble i was having with a very nervous/unfriendly
hamster,we moved him to a different cage that had wire bars and is more
open,and hes a different boy!
i think it must have been the fact that he couldnt smell what was around him

I've noticed about a 7-10 days ago that our hamster(Teddy) had some weight
loss, now he's blown up and like a lump on his side; he's still drinking and
doing (some) walking around. Haven't noticed if he's in his wheel though.What
do you think the problem could be?

My beloved hamster Squirt has died, He seemrd ok last
night(drinking,eating,playing) but just now i checked on him and he was
in a ball in his bedding ice cold
he was a wonderful little fellow, named Squirt cause he peed on me at
