Why is my hamster sad2007-11-24 22:19:27

Also, make sure that your hamster has a fresh supply of food, and especially water. If your hamster drinks from a bottle, it may possibly be plugged. Check this, and then try feeding your hamster water through a syringe without a needle or a juicebox straw.

You mentioned that hes not eating that well. Try changing food brands to a more expensive brand, and give him treats once and a while such as occasional small peices of hard boiled egg.

Chew toys can help to keep your hamster busy. Give your hamster things to chew such as toilet paper rolls, popsicle sticks, or maple twigs.

Play with your hamster more often and let him crawl on you for excersise and fun. In additon to a wheel, try buying him a hamster/gerbil ball for running around in your house in. Encourage him to use this by nudging it gently while he is inside.

I really hope this helped you and your hamster. Good Luck!

I think he needs to go to the vet

I agree, You should take your hamster to the vet.

It sounds like Pepe has some kind of health issue going on and may need to see a vet. There may be something missing in his diet, or he may be getting too much of something in his diet. He may not like the heat, either. If he's squeaking without being touched or harmed by anyone or anything, then he has something wrong that needs to be fixed. He may have injured himself on the wheel or something.

Well, if you have a fan or an air conditioner turn it on in the room he's in. That should help, and give him 1 cup of food every time you clean his cage. Put your hand in the cage and spin the wheel a little so he knows what to do. Hamsters & Gerbils both squeak a lot during the day & night. It's normal, and your Hamster isn't sad.

I think you should try playing with it! Make it homeade toys, spoil it with trests like carrots or yogert (they love yogert!)

well, either he's sick, or his girlfriend broke up with him. so i would bring him to the vet. or a psychiatrist.
