My hamster was lively, now squints and hides in a corner, won’t come out—after two hamsters fought. I only fed it nuts, steamed bun, water. Is it sick or scared? Worried.
Hiding in a corner is common from fear, new-environment adjustment, or illness—observe to rule out. After a fight it may hide for self-protection until safe. Check diet, water, stool, breathing, temperature, environment, and gently check for injuries; if illness signs, take to a vet.
How long is the course of feline coronavirus infection?
FCoV has two forms. Effusive (wet): early vague (weight loss, anorexia, weakness), then fever 39.7–41.1°C, high WBC, mild respiratory signs; later ascites, dyspnea, anemia, weakness. Course 2 weeks–2 months, mostly fatal. Non-effusive (dry): granulomas in organs, eye infections (corneal edema, iris/lens inflammation); CNS damage → ataxia, mild paralysis, seizures. Course 1–8 weeks, mostly fatal. Your cat likely shows non-effusive signs—seek professional treatment and care.
How do I keep koi well?
Need a large enough tank with moderate depth (prevent jumping); install filter and air pump for stable water. Change water regularly, 1/4–1/3 each time to avoid big temp swings. Koi are omnivorous—feed pellets, small insects, shrimp, bean cake, vegetables, in fine pieces; moderate amount. Set stocking density by tank size/number to avoid crowding.
How to Tell If a Rabbit Has a Fever
As we know, rabbits are usually very active, but when sick they hide in corners or lie down, fever included. How do you tell if a rabbit has a fever? Our pet care specialists explain how to recognize it.
Tips for Keeping Turtles in a Glass Terrarium
A glass terrarium makes turtles easy to watch and move, but needs care: a plain clear box, enough space, a quiet spot under 40 decibels, a basking platform, live plants, a filter pump, and a thermometer, plus shallow, clean, regularly changed water.
Which body parts do squirrels use to dissipate heat in summer?
Tail and tongue help cooling. In heat, squirrels spread the tail to increase surface area and release heat. They also lick body/limbs to carry away surface moisture and regulate temperature. Limbs also help—in summer they press forelimbs to the body sides to reduce exposed area and heat transfer.
Which body part do rabbits use to dissipate heat in summer?
Rabbits mainly dissipate heat and sweat through the ears, regulating temperature via breathing. Cooling ability is limited; in summer keep the cage in a cool indoor spot, use AC but not direct draft. Place an ice pack in a corner; ensure enough drinking water.
What water quality requirements does an axolotl (giant salamander) have?
Use stream, reservoir, or groundwater—preferably running water; keep clean, temp 0–28°C (best 10–22°C). Too hot → summer dormancy, too cold → winter dormancy, both harm growth. Keep dissolved oxygen above 3.5 mg/L, pH 6.5–7.5; outside range harms health.
When does the Chinese striped lizard (Liwén dragon lizard) mate?
Mates mainly in spring and summer. Reproduction is climate-sensitive—too hot or cold reduces activity. Also affected by population density: few individuals = less activity; high density = more activity.
My dog had a little blood in its stool last time—what could it be?
Per the image, dark red loose stool; if unvaccinated/undewormed, likely parvo or parasites. Possibly ate hard/indigestible food, intestinal scrape, or hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. See a vet for targeted treatment. Parvo signs: diarrhea, vomiting, foul coffee/tomato-colored stool, low appetite, lethargy, fever—low cure rate without targeted meds. If can't go to hospital, give anti-inflammatory, gut mucosa repair, probiotics; mild bleeding may recover.
