How do you tell if your hamster is dead or of it is hibernating?
Don't worry if you think your hamster is dead, many have confused death with hibernation. You can tell if the hamster is hibernating when: 1. Its body temperature had dropped (Its cold) 2. Its rigid and stiff looking 3. Very slightly the whiskers on the hamster will move. The hamster will still have to breathe in its hibernation state. This happens because the hamster goes through a winter numbness. Hamsters like temperatures around 65 F - 72 F (18-22 C). So don't let the temperature in your house drop 15F (13C). To wake the hamster from its hibernation try turning the heat up to a little warmer. Then pick the hamster up gently and thaw him/her out with your hands. To prevent hibernation try putting more wood shavings, so the hamster can borrow deep and stay warmer. Hamsters a very senseitive to the light so make sure when putting your hamster in a cage put it away from drafts and sunlight. (They also do not like loud noises). To thaw it out try stroking it gentley with your hand. Normally hamsters should not hibernate. They hibernate for four/five months.
What do you do if your hamster never comes out of its bed?
Hamsters are nocturnal, which means they sleep in their nests during the day and come out at night while you are sleeping. Some hamsters are very heavy sleepers too. As long as the hamster is breathing, don't worry about it - he is definitely coming out at night for food and water. If you are concerned that your hamster may be ill, please take him to see a vet.
