QuestionTeddy bear hamster Age 5or6
He is turning blue and he's getting fat. He has been turning blue for a week and a half and has been getting fat for a week. Do you know what is the matter?
Answerhey,
its unusual for hamsters to get fat so fast, i think maybe you should take him to the vet, to see what could be causing it,lack of exercise could be a factor, if hes old, maybe he doesn't want to run around so much
The other thing is age five for a hamster is very very old. usually hamsters live 3-4 years at the most, it could just be old age which is causing this in your hamster. a blue tint could mean lack of oxygen, watch him breathing and see if it seems irregular.
To be sure what is wrong, take him to the vet if you can.
i really can't help you anymore than this,
but i hope this helps
