My baby hamster was fine in the morning when I went out. After I came back in the afternoon, it was motionless in the food container (it like to stay inside the food container). I took it up and gave it a little shake, but it did not respond. Its hands and legs were tightly crouched, eyes slightly opened but had dried up. Its body was still warm when I took it up, so I guess it died a few minutes before I reached my home (so sad, why can't it wait a bit more?). After a while, its hands and legs slowly relaxed and the body turned cold. I don't know why this happen. I put it together with its father in a cage and sometimes it got frightened by its father and would scream. Could it have died from shock when I was not around? It is also the child of the father and his daughter (inbreeding) and I heard that this is not good. Could this be the reason why it died? What can be deduced from tightly crouched hands and legs?
