MicArms – the hamster was prob going into hibernation. ours did it yesterday – cold, limp etc. needed 3 hours of intensive warming, some sugary water and then checking/waking every hour or so.
if they go into hibernation, as domestic pets, they do die, as they tend not to have the fat reserves to keep them alive through it. we think our went into it as at night we keep it in the hall, under a window – reckon cold night air was cooling it down, encouraging hibernation.
now the GF is insisting it has to live in our room all the time – makes a right bloody racket through the night >:(
me and some mates haven't told an old housemate that the pubes he found in his advent calendar were ours. he thinks they came from the factory.
not telling him is more to protect us than him though 😈
