My hamster's has hiccups for two days is something wrong?

Answer 1

"My hamsters doing the same thing! He keeps making squeaking hiccupy noises and won't drink unless encouraged and wont eat at all! Get him checked out by a vet and check for the common illnesses- wettail, gastronitus, cold, also check how fast hes eating that might be the cause." I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but both your hamsters are probably dying from a disease that's fairly common in small rodents, mainly rats, called Mycoplasma. Hamsters or rats can't burp, nor can they hiccup, although it may look like that's what they're doing, they're actually "choking" for lack of a better term. Mycoplasma is a bacteria that is resistant to almost all common antibiotics, because it does not have a cell wall. But hey, what do i know, I'm just a rat breeder. Hope this helps (as much as it can)
