shaking hamster

Question
our hamster is shaking.  It's almost like a convulsion. She's only a few months old. She's well taken care of. Food, water, treats playtime etc.
What do you think is the problem.

Answer
Hi Darla,

    Sounds like seizures. Although they are rare in hamsters, it does happen. They usually start out mild and then get worse. The sad thing is that there really isn't nothing that can be done. My Daughter had one with seizures, he would shake, twitch and nearly fly across the cage. He was around 3 months old when they started and died at 5 months. I hope your hamster fairs better.
