How to ensure my next hamster lives a long, healthy, happy life?

Question

My hamster is dead today. Her name is Chubby. In the morning she was walking funny and always rolling on her back struggling to get up. She also has wet poop and has overgrown bottom teeth that are not touching the front teeth. Do you know what I can do to make my future hamster live a happier life?

I am sorry for the loss of your hamster. A clean, warm, stress free environment is critical to the health of any pet. Stress can predispose a hamster to serious infection. Provide a healthy diet and plenty of chew toys to keep teeth worn down. Your veterinarian can trim teeth if necessary. Regular veterinary checks are also strongly recommended.
