Hi, I have a hamster. he is eating lesser and seems like he unable to eat hard food. he is okay to eat soft food like fruits and vegetables. I have provide him some apple, strawberries and cabbage. I don't see him drinking and the water level seems never goes down. He sleep more than usual and when he move he look fatigue and unstable. May I know what happen to my hamster? he is only 10 - 12 months. What should I feed him more? Thanks! Regards, Kez

If Fatty will allow, check his teeth. They could be overgrown or maloccluded. If so, have him examined by your veterinarian. The teeth can be trimmed or corrected so that he can eat normally. If the teeth are fine, an exam would be recommended to diagnose other illness or injury.
