by "heart attack", it could be stress. rodents, as well as birds, get stressed out very easily and yes, can die suddenly if stressed too much.

Hold him every day for at least a half an hour. And make sure you always get the youngest one, they are the easiest to tame.

Yes, as with many smaller animals if they get too excited, their already elevated heart rates increase causing a heart attack.

Only if your hand looks like a cat.
