    Edit : she woke up one hour later, I am so happy that she is okay now.

      Daniel Duh it is actually still better to keep dwarf hamsters alone. although they are not solitary in the wild, in captivity they can (and usually will) fight much more often because there is a limited amount of space for them to get away from each other. i've experienced it when i kept 2 russian dwarfs together (before i knew that it wasn't a good idea) and they fought quite a bit. the youtuber victoria raechel has a good video talking about why you shouldn't keep dwarf hamsters together, i would recommend checking it out.

    Both of our hamsters went into torpor... We revived our teddy bear hamster (hammy) in a couple minutes... We put the other one in a shoe box and left him because he looked like rigor mortis and very much colder than the other one :(
    ... So we decided to to try to bring him back just too see... No movement for 5 minutes... Then all of a sudden the rigor mortis went away and started to twitch his wiskers :)
    Long story short they were back running on their wheels in a few days... Such a mircle

  • @exclamationmark6465
    @exclamationmark6465 8 років тому +113

    If you do decide to give your hamster scrambled eggs, be VERY careful! Hamsters tend to hide any food they don't eat, and if they hide away the scrambled egg for too long it can go bad and they will die if they eat it. Be careful with giving your hamster small amounts of scrambled egg at a time, and perhaps hold them as they eat it, to make sure they don't hide it away. I had a new hamster named Zoë, and decided to give her scrambled eggs, and she passed away a couple of days later. Just be careful when giving hamsters any food that's able to go bad.

    My hamster actually did this today, but she did go quite stiff, lifted her up and she stayed in the same position...so just to let people know, another way is to look at their whiskers as they do still breath just very lightly and infrequently, so watch them for a minute for movement as the hamster breaths ( make sure your breath isn't moving them though if you're very close😂)

    I had this happen to my hamster once, quite a while ago... I must have been something like 8 years old, and I found her not moving. So I sat there with her in my lap watching TV to warm her up. She was the bitiest hamster I had ever had before that point, and I remember being happy that I could touch her at that point. She was still bitey after she woke up but she was never quite so aggressive towards me again after that.

    thought my hamster was hibernating turned out she had a infection but I wasn’t there (i was at school) it got worse and worse and I’ll never forgive my self for not being there I promised her from now on i will do anything… i just watched her suffer (but i cuddle with her) cause my cousins mom (a vet) said if she’s doesn’t die in the morning take her to west side (animal care). I knew she was going too die, everything good happens to me then something or one gets taken away i was coming home from school after they canceled two days off and i was going to Florida Friday just sucks I love her.
    Rest In Peace

    Hello Erin, my hamster died last winter, she was a Syrian named daisy. I believe she went into hibernation/torpor and simply didn't wake from it, as when I found her she was cold and stiff. Do you think the same?

    Is a tiny bit of cooking oil bad for hamsters? its typical to put that in a pan before you make scrambled eggs, so the eggs don't stick to the pan, but I want to make sure the little bit of oil would be safe to consume. Or maybe I should get one of those oil-free nonstick pans? lol

    Hi! My hamster is a 2 year old male Syrian named Caramel. He was very sleepy for two days, ate but not a lot and drank as normal. My mum researched and we found it he is probably hibernating. This was two days ago. I watched this and he had all the symptoms. Before I left for school this morning, I fed him and gave him a little stroke. He was okay. When I came home, I picked him up and he was colder but he isn't stiff, and is breathing very very slightly. I have put him in a blanket with a hot water bottle, some of his bedding and a treat near his nose. I will do this all night. Is there any advice you can give me? He is quite old and has been less active for about a month. I think he will die and I am very sad but he has had a great life.

    My hamster went into torpor 2 times last year. I had to buy an under the cage heat mat (she is in a 40 gallon tank) I also bought an in cage thermometer. I check it a lot to make sure the temp. isnt too low. If it is, I turn on my space heater for a little bit until it warms up. We moved just before winter and during that winter I found that my room is quite drafty. its hard to keep cool in the summer as well.

    Oh my word. Thank you for this excellent video. I found my hamster, Oscar, in this state and I didn't have a clue what do to. I hadn't seen his cute little face appear for a full day. Worried, I took the roof off his little cottage and found him curled up into a ball. My first thoughts were "oh, my, God! He's dead!" Thankfully, I followed your advice and he's now been roused and is warming up. I had absolutely no idea he could go into this state. It's only just going into autumn. So, now I have moved his little 'bedroom' to another location, where it's closer to a heat source. Thanks again so much for your advice. 😊☺️🤗🐹

After, he shared the news. I petted her backside one last time before her burial, and I was seeing her darker undercoat and thought she might have been already decomposing. (She's was Chinese Dwarf hamster with a brown coat, white belly, and dark stripe.) Did I burry her while she was in torpor? I'm about to cry I feel so guilty...

    I remember asking for a friend to care for my pet during a trip. I remember it was a moment where it started raining a lot- it was hella cold. My friend randomly stopped giving me updates, and told me a few days later that it had died and they had buried it. After I learnt this, I frequently think about wether or not they buried a dead or a hibernating hamster. I did see my small baby on torpor before- but I had the reaction of warming him and just thought it was cardiovascular; so it makes sense that he'd go in torpor again. Fml.
