Question

Answer 1

If hes been acting weird all day, I would get him to a vet asap.

www.guinealynx.com can help you find a cavy savvy vet.

www.guineapigcages.com is another good cavy site.

Answer 2

Its the teeth im almost sure!! Their teeth never stop growing and must have something to grind them down, wood toys and such. And a steady supply of timothy hay always in the cage. Watch to see if he/she isnt eating, if not, get to a vet ASAP. they can go down hill fast. PS a male is REALLY easy to tell, large testicles the size of a walnut, not to be gross. I'd go to the vet if i were you also get a manual on g. piggies.

Answer 4

aww.. poor baby! He might be scared :( just leave him alone and keep his cage in a dark, like place out of the sunlight. If it lasts longer than two days you might want to see if he has a cold :)

Symptoms of a cold may be lethargic behavior, perhaps huddling in a corner of its cage. Its nose may appear swollen and its fur ruffled from wiping nasal discharge. The eyes will also show a discharge and the hamster will breathe noisily. Place the cage into a warm spot, and give the hamster some lukewarm milk mixed with water and a bit of honey. If the hamster will not drink, you will have to feed it with eye dropper. If there is no improvement in its condition within 2 days, call or visit your vet. Always keep your hamster’s cage in a draft proof place, not too close to any window or door which may expose it to cool drafts.

Hope this helps!!!!
