Are hamsters meant to go into like a shock (where they stay still for ages and they stand in their tube likeit

Question

Cus my hamster doe sit and she really scares me

Answer 1

my hamster hazel always does that it just means there very alert iv had hazel for almost a year now and shes very healthy you have nothing to worry about my hamster Willl hear a noise that scares her or that interests her and wil get on her hind legs and perk her ears up and stand still for 2 minutes but if your hamsters been like that for a very long time check on it or take it to the vet

Answer 2

Calm down,thats nothing,a lot of hamsters do that. Mine does.

Look ,all it is is that she smells some different scent,so she is trying to tell wether it is danger coming. I swear,thats all it is.NOT a wet tail symptom

symptoms for wet tail= smelly cage ,a wet tail,smelly hammy underside,dragging its hindquarters around

Answer 3

shes dead accept it

Answer 4

shes probs not scared

hamsters have alot better hearing than humans so when they hear something they haven't heard before or are curious about they will sit still to give it there full attention

and try to find out were its coming from and what it is.

wet tail symptoms-

looses appetite for food

they will have diarrhoea or soft watery poo

and they will be tired

its fatal so if you find these symptoms take her to the vet straight away they can treat it

Answer 5

my hamster does the exact same thing and she wont come out of her tube... shes NOT dead! she also does that when she hears me coming into the house.... is you hamster a blackbear? SHE IS FINE! If she doesnt come out, get her a nice treat and put it at the top of the tube then just brushe her with your finger so she knows that everything is all right!
