When hamsters are young, they live in a bubble-shaped nest called the oorgean. This is made of drywall or equivalent material,fastened to the ground with a friction ring. This is where they are cared for by their mother.
As they grow, they move out of their nest and into the open world. This is when they begin to live in a household environment, and where you buy them from a pet store.
Wherever they go, this is where they die—in a tragic accident that ends their short life.
The most common way for hamsters to die is by sucking their feet off. This may seem like an innocent way to end your hamster’s life, but it does not last long.
Once it happens, your hamster will start thrashing around and trying to kill itself by biting its foot or tail off.
Throwing themselves into the cage walls
When a hamster gets too old, it can develop arthritis or arthritis-like symptoms. This can happen anytime, but most commonly when the hamster is in its later stages.
When this happens, the hamster may stop moving around and developing because of this disease is very serious. You must monitor your hamster to make sure it does not develop more serious issues like ommophagia or gastrointestinal problems.
If you notice your hamster is losing weight fast, having diarrhea or vomiting, and/or being very reluctant to get up to move, these might be signs of a suicide attempt. You must take steps to prevent this from happening again by getting the hamlet healthy and regulating its diet.
To prevent another suicide attempt, you must determine if the hamlet is male or female and change its diet according to that fact. A female should have a slightly higher calorie diet than a male so that they do not get sick.
Head-banging
When a hamster gets too old, it can develop neurological problems. One of the ways a hamster can fail to thrive is by developing neurological problems that aren’t treated.
This can be anything from dehydration, malnutrition, or other health issues. All of these are serious enough to where the hamster doesn’t function properly.
One way for a hamster to signal this is by developing mental or physical problems that aren’t treated. For instance, a hamster may develop dementia or blindness and not be given the proper care that it needs.
Another way for ahamster to fail is if it doesn’t reproduce. If this happens, then the only offspring are children who won’t have the necessary nutrients to survive on their own.
Self-mutilation
Another suspicious behavior seen in hamsters is self-mutilation. This behavior can range from pretending to be dead, to attempting to shred off part of your hands or feet.
Self-mutilation is a behavior that shows they are feeling depressed or unsafe. It is an indicator that their health is not good.
The easiest way for a hamster to hurt themselves is by slashing off their tail. Hamsters have very sharp little tails, and if done right, can create a beautiful design on oneself as she moves.
Another way for a hamster to hurt herself is by cutting her hair short. This may seem romantic at first, but in the long run it may be painful because you get overburden with it and it gets caught in something.

Committing social suicide
A hamster’s death due to suicide is most common in those with low self-confidence. If a hamster feels like he or she can’t complete a task, they may attempt to kill themselves by being too timid or not doing an adequate job.
This is probably the most common way for a hamster to die. Due to feeling like they are not doing an adequate job, the hamster feels compelled to try and commit suicide by being too reluctant or not completing the task.
It is important to pay attention to your pet as soon as you notice they are losing energy. Untrained professionals can be difficult to understand and talk to, so it is very important that you do this on your own.
If you notice your hamster has stopped eating or drinking, go back out into the room and get them a means of escape.
Falling off toys
If your hamster falls off a toy, it is important to observe how it lands. If the toy is hard, it may take a few seconds for it to land. If the toy is plush, it may fall faster.
If you observe your hamster trying to get up before falling over, this is paying off its reward of a good land. If you see it struggling to get up and/or if you can see any blood or signs of broken bone, then chances are it has injured its backside and is healing internally.
Usually hamsters don’t have any back problems except maybe arthritis or other bone disorders problems. But if there’s really no hope of saving your hamster, there are some things you can do like putting some lead line tape around the bottom of the cage so they have better support and don’t have to sit on the floor so much.
Getting stuck in cage parts
Hamsters can get stuck in their own almost sacred home cage parts. These include the udder, food dish, and toilet.
If you have a hamster that gets trapped in one of these areas, do not try to just remove it as it may still die from this. You must have professional help to remove it.
Instead of trying to rescue the hamster or removing the cage parts, you can buy a hamster bed or other special place setup to put it. This can help reduce stress on the hamster and prevent any kind of vet care needed.
At this point, you can try looking for adoption or foster care, as the hamster would probably be very lonely without home sweet home conditions. You can also try putting it in a colony setting with other hamsters, however this may spread some medical issues among them.
Running into objects
Hamsters can be very curious. This can get them into trouble. If you have a hamster, make sure to place it in a place that is safe.
If you have a cage for your hamster, make sure it is large enough to comfortably fit it. An adequate sized cage should have plenty of room to turn around.
If you have children or anyone else with the animal, make sure they are protected. Slashing is one way for an adult hamster to kill itself, so get the appropriate sized safety equipment ready.
If your hamster dies, make sure to bury or put up some sort of barrier so other hamsters do not come back and find it dead. Hamsters are sensitive to things, so if you had plenty of protection in place, this will help prevent any future problems.
Making sure your hamster has enough water and reducing stress on the animal is also important.
Suicidal hamsters need help!
If you’re a hamster owner looking to help your hamster, read this article next time so you can save your pet from himself!
Suicidal hamsters are hard to detect as a pet. They may look like the rest of the family, but because of their behavior, you must be aware of them.
They are curious and will attempt to escape their cage or enclosure. If they do this often, it is a good sign that they need help.
It is important to notice if the hamster shows any other signs of distress such as excessive crying, fear, or wandering behavior. All of these clues can point to a failed suicide attempt and need for medical attention.
If you find an exhausted hamster in trouble, try not pressing on him too hard and instead just walking away! He will hopefully realize that he does not have to be here and that he does not have to live with his mistakes.
