Aww cute little Nosey. Love your setups and I'm sure Nosey does too. It's sad they don't stay young for very long. I adopted my boy Duncan knowing he was already older but he's still a very sweet boy just doesn't use his wheel very much and loves his rest. Something I like to put out there is elderly pets need love too. Especially in shelters where they are often overlooked

Ugh my first hammies eyes started to get crusted shut during its last week of life. I wish hamsters lived longer. But I’m just glad there’s ppl like you that can give them an amazing life the short time that they are here
@MyCuteHamster00
@MyCuteHamster00 Год назад
Me too, at least if they could live as long as guinea pigs do. Nosey's eyes also get crusty, especially after he sleeps. I wipe his eyes with a cotton round soaked in lukewarm water or saline solution. It really helps open his eyes.

My Russian also had a big setup, this brought back memories.💖 He developed cancer and it was impossible to remove the tumors as he had a bad reaction to anesthesia. But he had treatment and weekly checkups. He was a fighter who lived 6 more months. Very energetic. Close to his 3rd bday the vet and I decided to let him rest. As painful as it was... It's the best we can do in some situations. He left peacefully, painless and with someone beside him. He now rests in my garden and I also kept his paw prints and little of his of his hair.

I am sorry for your loss. It's always a hard decision to make but it's for the best. You did the right thing. When Nosey's time comes he will also be buried in my garden under a hazelnut tree. But I hope he will hold on for a while longer.

I've had my boy, Buddy, for two months and he is around 19 months. He belonged to a relative who could no longer keep him. He had a small wire cage and sparse bedding! 😢 I did tons of research as i haven't had hammies for years. FFWD And my boy is loving his new home with all mod-cons, new big wheel, etc, deeeeep bedding and a 3 chamber hide and 'Private Beach' 😂. He's got a new lease of life in his later life 😂. Bless his ❤. He's so adorable 😍.

It’s nice to see someone else do this. I would get so much grief from people in Facebook hamster groups when I would suggest downsizing for an elderly hamster that couldn’t get around as easily.
@MyCuteHamster00
@MyCuteHamster00 Год назад
The way I see it is if the hamster is struggling, downsizing and making the cage more flat is a good thing to do. Of course, we still shouldn't go under the minimum recommended size and should still offer all the enrichment necessary. I think sometimes we need to understand that bigger is not always better and that we need to adjust the environment to the specific animal we are caring for and their needs at that time. You gave me a great idea for a future video about exceptions to hamster care rules. Thank you! 😊❤

I Can not deal with death good ! Both my hamsters were put to sleep ! Miggy had crushing disease he was on steroids for a good few month but he deteriorated n I felt the best thing was to say good bye n let him be at peace ! John Paul was screaming and in total panic rolling all over when he was dying ,I wrapped him in a blanket to try make him feel safe and I took him to be put down it broke my heart to see him like that I try remember all the good times he had but I always go back to the horrid scared look on his face 😢 so sad these lil baby’s have such short lives im too soft I just cry thinking of it 😢❤

Nosey has teeth issues so I make him soft food by grinding some of his seed mix and adding other things in. I use a coffe grinder to make it into powder and then add some water, the result is what you see in the video. I will probably make a video about what i feed him soon.

Wow ur hamster is pretty old! One of my hamster is about 2 years old , she always gets eye infections and she sleeps in a kind of hibernation sometimes (once I fought she died) sadly I don’t even see her to much but ik she is alive because she eats her food
@MyCuteHamster00
@MyCuteHamster00 Год назад
You can wipe your hamster's eyes with saline solution on cotton rounds. It helps with sticky eye. Be careful about the temperature in your house, if it is too low your hamster can go into torpor, which looks similar to hibernation. This is very dangerous because hamster's don't naturally hibernate and it's hard to wake them up from torpor.
