It could be hes going into hybernation. I wouldn't recommend letting him though. Try to keep playing with him as much as you can.
If its during the day hes sleeping its normal their nocturnal but at night isn't.
If the hamster is sick, it will be less active at night, and sleep through it's hyper time. But if it is still running some and not sleeping at random spots in it's cage, then it is just getting old and worn out from it's life.
STOP FEEDING IT TOO MANY SUNFLOWER SEEDS its a result generally of too much fat and not enough carbs ( just take all seed food away, and feed only balanced pellets such as oxbow or extrusion)
over time it will eat less sleep more and continue to use wheel and it will lose weight and can eventually lead to its early death..... seed feeds? take out approx 75% of the sunflower seeds and toss it out
Absolutely nothing. Hamsters are nocturnal and sleep mostly during the day like cats.
most hamsters are nocturnal so they are supposed to sleep in the day. but roborovski hamsters are often awake for short periods in the day and don't sleep as much as other breeds of hamsters
i don't think it's normal. You should take it to a vet.
it could be both you should take it to see a vet
Hamsters aren't supposed to share cages if there syrians(dwarf hamsters can share a cage very happily). Your hamsters could kill eachother; hamster's nature is to roam alone. However, if you have one male hamster, and one female hamster, this may not apply, as the female can, well, you know, with the male and before you know it.... pop goes the BABIES. Be prepared.
It was on the floor, so anyone could easily come up and kill them while they were sleeping.
They proably think the other hamster is the opposite sex of them or they are just gay hamsters.
You have not stated what your temperature is when you are sleeping. We suggest that you check it a few times, and if it seems to be a problem you can discuss it with your physician. The most likely reason is sleeping under too many covers, which prevent your body's normal cooling mechanisms from functioning efficiently.
Does he have any redness or injury to the area? If not then he is probably just grooming himself. Sometimes it seems like they are biting when they are cleaning (they "nibble" and lick their fur/skin to groom).
I will say that you could murder a hamster by killing it without its consent. which is possible by microwaving it until it pops. I thought the term applies only to humans and, in science fiction, humanoids. However, the dictionary definition seems to imply that it can apply to animals if it is brutal or inhumane.
If the hamster seems to be peeing out blood and it only goes on for like 2-3 days its probably a sort of period. It happens to hamsters a couple of times in their lives. However, if it goes on longer, or it's butt seems to be bleeding all the time , not just when it pees, it could be a kidney disorder. Go to the vet if this is the case. Sources: I have bred hamsters, raised them, made them better, now have 60 hamsters in my home.
It seems unlikely that a hamster could generate that much force with a bit, but if this happened, it would be important to get examined by a health care provider as soon as possible. The combination of animal bite and broken bone in the hand can be particularly dangerous.
If the bumps are raised, but seem like they are under the skin, it may be a tumor. Look for other signs of bad health, like not eating, or a change in normal behavior. If your hamster seems unhealthly or in pain you can take it to a local vet.
