R.I.P Zac

Story location: Home / Blog / Hamsters /
30/Aug/2006

Zac died this morning. We think he may have had a stroke in the night. When we found him in the morning he was very slow and unsteady and had lost his co-ordination. He would hobble around unsteadily, and when he picked up food he couldn't get it to his mouth.

We don't know how old he was because when we obtained him last year he was already fully grown. He may have been of indeterminate gender and had a bit of a hunch back but he was lovely and friendly. When we first got him he was very timid and would run away from us if we looked into the cage. After a few months he became much more calm and would readily walk onto our hands if we reached into the cage.
