| Question about Pets:Why is my hamster so clumsy. Im getting worried |
Is he very, very young or very, very old? He could be having problems learning to walk or problems with athritis. Is he walking in small circles and falling over? He could have a brain injury. Are all of his legs working? The back legs can start to atrophy if he's not getting enough excercise.
If he is really, really old, he could be getting slower because his life may be almost over. I had a dwarf that was almost three years old (double the life expectancy!) and the last four or five days before he passed, he seemed to be moving in slow motion and stopped using his wheel. If he is not very, very young or very, very old, I would think about contacting a vet because whatever the cause is, it is not normal for a healthy adult hamster to be falling while he walks.
