at 4.20 as i'm getting really concerned about her.

Her tummy has ballooned and when you feel her tummy the only way i can describe it is if theres a over inflated baloon in there. Shes always sleeping and isn't as active anymore but i just that down to her getting older as we've never had a hamster before.

she gave a wee yelp out last night which she never ever does so phoned the vets straight away this morning who want to give her a wee seeing over

£20 for a check up tho.....thats daylight robbery lol

hope she will be ok

off to check on the forum to see when i got her off elaine lol as the want to know how old she is lol

hope she's ok, unfortunately hamsters only live 2-4yrs so she probably is near the end. £20 for a check at the vets is blooming extortionate esp for a hamster. If it is bad news and you do consider getting another hamster rather than going to a pet shop look for people who breed them as they are alot cheaper and are in alot better condition than the pet shop ones.
