Why is your hamster shaking?

Answer 1

3 out of our 4 hamsters make noises like that all the time! We researched it quite a bit when we first heard it to make sure there was nothing wrong, but everything we read supported what we thought... the 3 main reasons are as follows; # if they are afraid or unsettled they can make hissing or almost screaming noises - our youngest did this once when we first got her but she settled quickly # heavy breathing noises (almost like wheezing) our 3 syrians often do this when they are asleep or just waking up. It starts loud and gets quieter and quieter and can last up to a couple of minutes. I think it's just dreams # squeeking (my favourite) sometimes when we walk past a cage i hear a squeek - i look in the cage and they're sitting upright trying to get our attention... It means they want a treat or a run in the ball (but usually both) Hope this helps someone!

Answer 2

I am virtually certain that your hamster has a respiratory problem. This means the hamster is having great troble breething. The hamster will be in a lot of pain. It needs to be seen by a vet as soon as possible as at this stage it is cruel to keep it alive. Other signs of this may be occasional squeeking. My main advice would be just to get him seen by a vet as soon as possible.

Answer 3

It sounds to me like this is a respiratory disease. This can be very painful for the hamster and can feel like they are carrying an oxygen tank around. The hamster needs to be taken to the vet as soon as possible as it is not fair to let it suffer.

Answer 5

Check to see if his/her tail is wet. If it is your hamster has wet tail. If it turns out it does have wet tail, you should get medication as soon as possible. Wet tail can be fatal.
