My hamster is acting like he has to vomit.. any suggestions?

Question

We thought he was just too cold being in an airconditioned room but we warmed him up and started looking around, we think that he may have eaten part of a brown towel that was over his cage. Now he is lethargic and kind of acting like he has to vomit. Help

Answer 1

don't worry he won't just keep him room temp. b/c they hibernate when it's really cold. hamsters keep food in their cheeks and when they wants to take it out to eat, it looks like vomiting. it's normal for hamsters to chew on things and are smart enough not to eat a towel.
