My hamster hasnt been eating ! :|?

Question

My hamster hasnt been eating very much, i never see her eat from her food boll anymore, and her water hasnt seemed to go down very much. But just a minute ago she went crazy digging with her face in her food boll stuffing her face, is this normal?

Answer 1

Hamsters don't eat that much.

I work in a pet shop, and we have a measured amount to give them every morning, but it's rare to come back the next morning and find the bowl empty, even if you've got four in a cage.

And yes, the stuffing of the cheeks thing is normal- she'll be taking food back to her 'bed' area.

Answer 2

Yeah thats fine they like to store things in there cheecks or hide food ad eat it later. i wouldnt worry unless it gets worse and you reolize shes starting to get thin. Good Luck

Answer 3

this is completley normal

well to me it is :P

my hamster does the same thing  after he stuffed hsis face he usually puts it in his lil storage and doesnt eat it till later

remind u hamsters are nocternal so they are way active at night  so he might eat at night

Answer 4

its fine
