Hamster squeaking?

[DeadlyWithABow]

Hello! I have had quite a few hamsters and I know there’s a happy chirping and scared screams and probably a lot more in between but I wanted to post here to make sure this isn’t a different type of scared squeak? My hamster Nugget is a female Syrian, and she’s about 1.5 yrs old now. Shes squeaked in the past, but this is LOUD. I love it and think it’s adorable, however I need to know if this is a sign she needs to see a vet. Just started an hour ago or less. She’s running on her wheel, eating like normal, and I went and picked her up and listened to her breathing. Everything seems fine! The background has rain outside and a video I was playing for sleep. For context I just fully deep cleaned her cage a day ago or so. (Also I cannot figure out how to attach videos)

Hi. Some hamsters are really quite vocal Just keep an eye on her and do a health check maybe.

For videos they need to be uploaded to youtube then you paste the link on here and the video embeds and plays on the forum page If you don't want it publicly viewable, you can set it to "unlisted" and then it will only show where you paste the link (ie here). Don't set it to private though or it won't show anywhere!

Blossom was quite a vocal hamster She used to squeak at me to get my attention, if something was wrong, if her tea was late, or if she just wanted a chat

Okay here’s the short I posted. You can hear rain and the video I have on for sleeping but if you turn it up you can hear her squeak

I love listening to rain - sort of! Yes I heard her squeak - so cute. As long as she seems active and healthy I wouldn't worry about it, but it could be an idea to look at what she's doing when she squeaks - in case she's trying to tell you something. Eg wheel jammed, ladder fallen over or something.

Yes, that’s the sort of thing that Blossoms would squeak for

It was just her daily allowance of hamster food to forage, but she did like it on time lol

That sounds like a “human, I’m telling you something important, don’t you dare ignore me” kind of squeak You probably moved some of her stuff when you cleaned her out and she’s telling you that it’s not right
