Just wanted to share what happened to my hammies that stopped moving but was still breathing slowly...
It has happened few times before over the years to some of my hammies and just this evening when feeding my hammies I found one not moving...usually they all run to me when see me, this one was in the corner I took it in my hand and it was all limb like when I moved it in my hands it didnt try to get up or open eyes.
So since I already had these situations before I took a little pipette and put vitaminjuice inside and put few drops in its mouth ,not too much so it don't choke, keeping in my hand which is warm caressed it and after a while it opened its eyes a bit and tried to bite my finger ,from this I understood it needs bit of meat, I took piece of ham and he ate it wanting also more....
Many don't know and in the shop they don't tell you but hamsters need meat in their menu not just dry food and not having this can sometimes cause lethargy or even cannibalism among hamsters. When I'm writing this the hammy is seemingly better.
