Hamster Seizures?! Don’t Think It’s Just a Cute Move! 😢

If your hamster wobbles, walks backward, or even flips over—this is NOT just a funny behavior! 😭
⚠️ It could be a seizure, and your little one is in distress!

What Causes Seizures in Hamsters? 😖

Seizures occur due to abnormal brain nerve activity, often triggered by:
✅ Heatstroke – Overheating can affect the nervous system
✅ Fractures or injuries – Nerve damage can cause seizures
✅ Tumors – Pressure on the brain may cause abnormal signals

Types of Seizures

🌀 Generalized Seizures: Full-body stiffness, loss of consciousness
🌀 Partial Seizures: Muscle spasms, strange movements

✅ Keep a record of seizure frequency 📒, and reduce height differences in the cage to prevent injuries!
⚠️ NEVER move your hamster during a seizure!
👉 It can stress them further, and they may bite you unintentionally! 😵

What Should You Do?

🚑 Take your hamster to a vet immediately if seizures occur!
However, epilepsy cannot be completely cured 🥺.
If seizures happen frequently, medication can help manage symptoms and reduce physical strain.

💖 With the right care, your hamster can still live a happy life! 💖
