This is a
neurological and genetic disorder. The hamster eats and drinks
normally, but spends the rest of the time (when he is not sleeping)
running in circles. This affection is commonly found in dwarf hamsters,
and in very rare cases in Syrian hamsters.
Other symptoms
include:back flipping or pacing.
As the hamster
gets
older, he will start to run in circles more than usual. Some hamsters
will be so severe affected as they will run and run, without stopping
to eat or to drink some water.
If discovered in
time, this affection can be treated by a vet. The hamster will need all
the support you can give him, so take good care of your hamster.
You should NOT breed
hamsters suffering from this disorder as this will result in hamsters
suffering from the same affection.
If your hamster runs
in circles now and then, it doesn't necessarily mean he has a
compulsive behavior. He is just very active and happy.
