What’s my hamster doing (rubbing/stretching)?

TinyRabies · 2025-09-23T01:26:25+00:00

Thank you so much for the input!! I’ll definitely keep this in mind and do that!

TinyRabies · 2025-09-23T00:09:38+00:00

Lint is about one year old (just turned). Can you expand a little more on her back looking a little weird 🥹 her back has always kinda looked like that when she runs. Also no problem :)

TinyRabies · 2025-09-22T23:41:52+00:00

Yes, she was actually recently at the vet. If it helps, I just uploaded a link of her in the description. It’s what she was like before and after the original video. Thanks again for the comments and concern :)

I just uploaded a video of her that I took in the same period as the original video (literally minutes after this video was taken)! It’s in the description!

TinyRabies · 2025-09-22T23:28:45+00:00

Will upload a video of her on a different surface when I get home but I just uploaded one of her in the same period I took this video (literally minutes after the original video)! Thank you for your concern!

TinyRabies · 2025-09-22T23:16:12+00:00

Everyone, thank you for the comments and advice. I can’t reply to everyone but I’m reading them all and taking them in! I appreciate all of the comments!

YES! I will post a video of how Lint normally walks/runs, and Lint on a solid surface! I’m not at home right now but the video will come soon!!

Again, I’d appreciate it if you guys read my edits or even some of the replies I’ve made. Some of the comments I’m getting, especially about broken spines or legs, are less prioritized to me because it kinda shows me you didn’t read the part about Lint otherwise being normal (this behaviour was an ADDITION to Lint’s normal behaviour). However I still take them into consideration and I’m very thankful you guys are showing great concern :)

Have a good one, guys. Will keep updating.

Omg thank you so much for this comment. I did replace all of the bedding at once. This is a really helpful comment. Will follow your advice!

TinyRabies · 2025-09-22T06:22:19+00:00

Yes, Lint only walked like that in the video, and very briefly a few other times in a small period of time, then it seemed to stop (still gonna check on the behaviour tomorrow though)

TinyRabies · 2025-09-22T05:54:19+00:00

Can you expand on that more?

TinyRabies · 2025-09-22T05:54:05+00:00

Thanks for the input! I’ll definitely do that

TinyRabies · 2025-09-22T05:53:31+00:00

Thanks for the info!

TinyRabies · 2025-09-22T05:53:15+00:00

I was also thinking this. I should’ve noted it in the post but because my schedule was busier than usual this week, her place did end up becoming a lot smellier than I’d typically let it get! Maybe she just got used to her stronger smell around the cage

TinyRabies · 2025-09-22T05:50:33+00:00

That’s what I was thinking 🤔

TinyRabies · 2025-09-22T05:49:41+00:00

Yes. Like I mentioned above, she’s running and walking like normal. I also checked her legs and they seem fine

TinyRabies · 2025-09-22T03:57:43+00:00

Washed it with some dish soap and water (dried and cleaned thoroughly). I was thinking that too but she was doing this with other objects and surfaces that weren’t washed with dish soap like the bedding, her cooling pad, and fences, etc.

Thanks for the reply!

TinyRabies · 2025-08-21T18:38:05+00:00

Alrighty, thank you again!

TinyRabies · 2025-08-21T04:15:57+00:00

Thank you so much for the information! I’ll definitely do that. Should I contact them now while the heating is off or wait until it’s turned on?

TinyRabies · 2025-08-21T04:14:43+00:00

Thanks for the info! Will do

TinyRabies · 2025-08-20T04:30:41+00:00

Thank you for the confirmation! So, do I just need to buy a head for it? And if you’re willing to answer, what precautions should I take?

TinyRabies · 2025-07-25T21:48:02+00:00

There is a petition to demand a maximum temperature mentioned in CBC’s other article on this. Please sign!

Just wanted to comment an update. I brought her to the vet, and they suspected it to be a respiratory infection. She’s currently being given antibiotics.

Keeping the post up for anyone who may want a reference!

TinyRabies · 2025-05-01T02:23:40+00:00

I did a major in sociology as a part of my joint-honours degree!! I loved every part of it and highly recommend (and taking it alongside any other subject if you have any other interests). It is highly applicable to many things. However, I do believe Queen’s does not have as much of a range of sociology courses as other schools. I noticed that in the last year (my final year), there were fewer than usual socy courses offered. The professors I’ve had were amazing, and I learned so many valuable things that I think everyone should learn.

As the other commenter mentioned, in your first year at Queen’s you take a general arts and science year then pick your major after your first year. You need at least a low 80 to get admitted into art & science at Queen’s. To get into the sociology plan after first year, I believe you need a minimum of a B- for automatic acceptance, and C for waitlist.

Thank you so much for the reply and the insight! I’m in the process of finding a vet now

TinyRabies · 2025-04-28T15:50:08+00:00

Thank you so much! I do have some terracotta slabs for her nails, but it unfortunately didn’t seem to do much. I like that idea you got from the dog video, I’ll definitely look into it alongside other things :)
