my hamster?

i think that my hamter is dying because he is loosing his fur and he is really fat but he dont eat that much. what do i do?
Answers:
why do u think he's dying? if he's just losing fur that is a sign of old age and they can live for many more months. they live 2-3 yrs. he could also have a vitamin deficiency so get him some hamster vitamin drops for his water from the petstore. around $5. even if it's just from age the vitamins will help a lot. have u changed his bedding recently? make sure u r using carefresh/and/or aspen only.

has he always been fat because it could be constipation if not. does he walk hunched up or have u seen a lot less droppings? if that, a drop of vegetable or olive oil will help. and some fresh fruit/veggies--about 1/2 in piece daily.

good luck
I know this is a terrible thing to say, but it's true, hamsters are disposable pets. Hamsters only live for about 2 years.so you should probably just get a new one or a dog.
do?

umm. get a box?
feed him to a huge snake
I'm sorry to hear that your hamster isn't feeling well.Probably the best thing to do is to bring him to vet if you can afford it. Otherwise.give him the favourite treat of his and pet him as much as you can before you have to be apart from him. I wish you the best luck.
well, there comes a time in all a hamsters life when he/she must go to hamster heaven (aka the nuts%26seeds factory :P) what you have told me in your question is indeed the early stages of serious hamster illness (having owned 4 hamsters myslef). This could either be the beginning of a natural death or contraction of an illness(such as "wet towel" disease) This becomes even more likely if you see his fur looking "greasy". hope i helped. Deepest Sympathy
I'm sorry love, I don't want to hurt u any more than u already r hurting, but I agree with The China Doll, hamsters only live for about 2 years. If u can afford it take him to the vet, it may be only a minor problem that he/she can take care of. I hope that gives u a little bit of help. Sorry I can't be of more help.
don't listen to what the other people say a hamster is an animal and whether it is old and dying or young with something wrong with it you should take it to a vet it sounds like from other peoples answers you can forget about the hamster every animal deserves vet care take it too a vet
