Can a hamster have a stroke because I think mine just did!?

Answer 1

Yes they can. Our family once had a hamster who suffered a stroke and lost the use of most of his left side. He seemed to still enjoy his usual activities and came up with clever ways to run in his wheel and play with his toys. My children paid much more attention to him and babied him more and I think he loved all the attention.

peace

Answer 2

Yes, any living being is able to have a stroke. This is usually caused by stress, health problems, or simply just old age. My bird had a stroke and died two years ago, poor thing was just laying there in her water tray, but she was getting very old.
