Last night I went to check on Poppy my hamster to find her stiff and cold!!! I phoned OH at work to deliver the news and he said all the usual stuff - she's old now, had a good life etc etc...
Anyway he came home (after work at 1am I may add), poked her a bit and decided she was just very very deep into her hibernation and not actually dead afterall. So he wrapped her in tissue, popped her back in her cage, brought the cage down from the attic and put the it by a nice warm radiator in the guest room. We woke up to her rattling round at about 5am as if nothing had happened!!!!!
Checked on her this morning and she popped her head out of her sleeping pod, grabbed the grape and nut I was holding out for her - threw the grape back at me :shock: and began chomping on her nut. Was so pleased that my little baby hammy was back!!!
Never had a hamster go so deep into hibernation and recover so fast!!!! She really is a wonder hammy!! And my OH obviously has the knack!!
