Why do I think you enjoyed recounting that? Sick.Buttonmoons wrote: »I didn't mean if it was in pain, I'm not cruel, mine became very anti-social and just slept mostly, but it still came out for grub and water.
A friend of mine at college, he used to have hamsters, and when they got old his dad used to peg them to the washing line and whack them with a spade....sick.
All famous murderers have been animal torturers as children.
I for one, will ignore any posts you make from now on. Is there an ignore button anyone?
If not, I hope I speak for all here, in that YOU are not welcome.0 -

            no,her furs normal not thining or manky at all and shes not bony but she was a very fat hamster,(could only just fit through the tubes in our old cage) and now looks like a 'normal' weight so to us seems to have lost a lot if you know what i mean0

I Don't know OP, that is why no medical advice should be given here. We have no idea.yummymummyoftwo wrote: »no,her furs normal not thining or manky at all and shes not bony but she was a very fat hamster,(could only just fit through the tubes in our old cage) and now looks like a 'normal' weight so to us seems to have lost a lot if you know what i mean
I would take Hamster to the Vet. £30.00 I reckon, make or RIP. Whatever, make sure you are there at the end.0 - 
            Hanging an animal to the washing line and hitting it with a spade to "despatch it" ... ???
Glad I don't know where he lives else I would put all his windows through. There are too many people in this world who think they have the right to treat animals how they want ... doesn't matter if it is a tiny gerbil or a huge St Bernard, still deserves to be treated with respect and kindness.
How's little Miss Hamster doing now ... ?
Like everyone says, if she seems to be suffering (and loses more weight in a short time), then I think it would be kinder to take her to the vet.
You never know .. she might have a problem with her mouth that could be sorted out ... maybe she's not eating cos of that?
Fingers crossed .... *S*0 - 
            just a quick update if anyones interested,
my hamsters still going strong,
the strange noises have stopped and shes eating and drinking normally again,
really wierd but im glad it wasnt what i was thinking0 - 
            Glad to hear she is ok.0

            Glad she's ok now

One of my many hamsters was making strange noises once didn't have a clue what was happening because she was inside her house, so i lifted the lid off to find she had baby hamsters!
I doubt this is whats happend to yours.
Could your daughter of fed her something she shouldn't? Just a wild one?
