Yes, when a hamster dies, its body may become stiff due to rigor mortis setting in. This is a natural process that can occur in any animal after death.
It is possible that your hamster has passed away. The stiffness and coldness to the touch are common signs of death in small animals. It is best to handle the situation with care and consider burying your pet properly.
I imagine it could have some major digestive problems which could kill it... A lot of things can kill a hamster. Hamsters die from a stiff breeze.
Yes, it is common for hamsters to appear stiff when they are sleeping. This is known as the "sleeping hunch" position, where they may appear still and their bodies may be slightly arched. It is a natural behavior and is not a cause for concern.
When a hamster dies, their body will become stiff, their eyes may be partially open or closed, and they may have a more relaxed posture. Their fur may appear dull and they may not respond to any stimuli. It's important to handle a deceased hamster with care and respect.
it basically means that they are as boring as a dead person, as 'stiff' is slang for a dead body.
If the hamster is not moving or feels stiff to the touch, or if it doesn't respond to touch or other sensations, or if there is no involuntary "rise and lowering" of the body that is typical in normal breathing, it could very well be dead. Also, if the hamster is emitting a strong, "rotten" odor, it lends further credence to the "dead" theory.
