What three foods do hamsters fear most?
Hamsters most fear high-oil, salty, sugary foods and fruits like apricot kernels, apple seeds, and bayberry, plus strong-smelling foods like onion, garlic, and cilantro. Fatty, sugary, salty food causes gut buildup and enteritis; apple seeds and apricot kernels cause vomiting and even shock or death; strong-smelling foods cause severe diarrhea and dehydration.
What should I do if my kitten won’t eat, is lethargic and vomiting?
A kitten that won't eat, is lethargic and vomits usually has a gut problem — bacterial or viral enteritis, or intestinal parasites. Take it to a vet to confirm the cause. First, if unvaccinated, test for feline distemper with a strip; distemper mimics gastroenteritis with vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, appetite loss, fever and can be fatal in ~10 days without treatment. If no distemper, it's usually gastroenteritis or parasites — treat the symptom and use probiotics.
