Pet's info: Small Animal | Hamster | Female
I got 2 djugarian hamsters and they both die the same day. They were breathing hard and would do anything they would just be laying down. How come they got like that?

Sorry about your hamsters. Heat stroke would be a possibility as hamsters with heavy coats are unable to cope with excessive heat, especially if over 80 F. A veterinary visit could perform a necropsy in an attempt to determine cause of death. Sorry again.
