I only had him about 6 months, but I don't know how old he was when we got him. My brother gave him to me for my birthday last year. --- Work in progress, please be patient. <cite>KogaSteelfang posted [p:951921444] in My hamster...

Blighboy 03/20/21 2:44:35 PM #5:	KogaSteelfang posted... I think like 4-5 years. This is inaccurate. A 4 year old hamster is extremely old. A 5 year old hamster, while I believe is theoretically possible, is almost unheard of. After around 18 months a hamster would be considered "old", and becomes more vulnerable to any kind of injury or illness. After that point it mostly depends on genetics and luck (though hamsters with poor genes or in poor care can obviously pass away earlier). Most pet store hamsters (at least in North America) have extremely poor genes due to inbreeding. This has worsened over the course of the last few decades. It used to be more common to see hamsters live to three years or older, now it's probably the minority of hamsters. --- I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility. <cite>Blighboy posted [p:951922235] in My hamster...

I'm just gonna hope it was old age then. I noticed when I changed his food last night that he didn't rush over to attack my hand. He was sleeping peacefully in the corner. I got a little concerned then, but there were other times when slept through that too. Then this morning he was gone. --- Work in progress, please be patient. <cite>KogaSteelfang posted [p:951922975] in My hamster...

If you noticed any signs of diarrhea in his cage or on his bum, he likely got sick. Hamsters, especially very young hamsters, are extremely vulnerable to diarrhea and typically pass away within a day or two of showing symptoms, even with treatment. If he smelled very bad that might also indicate illness. If you felt or noticed any lumps on him, he probably got cancer. Otherwise it was likely just heart failure due to age. --- I have no idea whether or not he's a racist, but apparently there are recordings of him using racial slurs so it's a distinct possibility. <cite>Blighboy posted [p:951923225] in My hamster...

I hadn't noticed any diarrhea. When he was in his ball, he'd leave behind little droppings. He didn't smell either, not as far as I noticed anyway. Idk about lumps, best I could do was a few light touches while he was stuffing his face. Any more than that he'd bite the heck out of your finger. --- Work in progress, please be patient. <cite>KogaSteelfang posted [p:951923501] in My hamster...
