    My hamster is shaking and having problems walking
    My hamster is shaking and having problems walking. She was completely fine this morning. She is about 2 years old and her name is Ella. I have no idea if its from this morning because my mom let her in her ball while I was sleeping and when I came down she was on the heat register. The ball wasn't very warm so she couldn't have been on for more than a couple of minutes, 7mins tops I'm guessing. But I checked to see if she was OK after and she was perfectly fine. She ate a bit of food this morning but she wasn't doing this earlier and after watching her for a while now she went back into her house. My mom JUST came in and said she's calmed down quite a bit.

    Please Help!

    Thanks!

    At two years of age your hamster is no longer young, he's in old age. It could just be that.

    Sadly I can't tell you exactly what's going on, there are too many possibilities. You'll need to take hammy to a vet. The sooner the better as hamsters can quickly go from bad to worse.

    Good luck.

    I believe you have answered a question before about my hamster hacing a scar on her back. Thank you for that.
    I checked on her this morning and she's perfectly fine!
    And bringing her to the vet is out of the question because my parents are not willing to spend that much money on a $10 pet. I do have the money but they will not let me use it on that.

    Thanks!
