does anyone know why sometimes my hamster will start jerking? it doesnt seem to hurt him.. its not even really a jerk as much as it is.. kinda like he has the hiccups?
I think I read that if hamsters start like making jerking moves then its frightened, dunno what of exactly but I read somewhere thats what it means.
I'm a perv.. I thought your hamster was jerking of.. nevermind. I had a mouse once that after a long life started making cramplike movements after which it dropped that.. must've been a heart attack or maybe he chocked or sth.. sad.
My piggy does that sometimes, and it usually sounds like he's coughing, like maybe he ate too fast or has something stuck in his throat. But piggies and hamsters are different lol so I'm not sure. Is this something new he's doing?? How long have you had him?
i've had him for a few months he usually does it when he's sleeping in my lap (or hands or on my tummy, wherever )
my kitty twitches sometimes when she is sleeping or trying to sleep and theres a lotta noise in the room...
Yeha.. your hamster is probably just dreaming.. my rabbit does the same sometimes when he's sleeping.. kicking it's legs etc.
