Reply Message #1103 of 1675 |
Hi there, we've had a pair of brothers since the 27th December 2007,
unfortunately one of them died on Saturday and since then the remaining
brother has become 'depressed' like he won't eat or drink and isn't
even keen being handled (both of the brothers were constantly handled
from day one, so they're very used to use), I'm rather worried with
this non eating/drinkingthing thats going on with him. Has anyone got
any ideas??... Many thanks in anticipation, Anna x

HI- SORRY ABOUT YOUR LOSS. IF YOU DO AN EXTREME CAGE CLEAN IT ALSO ADDS "STRESS" TO A HAMSTER ESPECIALLY IF ONE IS ALREADY EXPERIENCING ANXIETY-- SO BE CAREFUL...
