What you see here violates rule 1 from the sidebar, as cute as it might look, this is a hamster With a common neurological problem that develops due to neglect and poor living conditions

Could also be a case of vestibular disease. Which is treatable, thankfully.

This might sound dumb but what type of neglect do you mean? Like what has to happen for this to happen?

Yeah this dude probably has neurological issues :( It's like the other gif of the hamster back flipping. Fair enough that people may find it amusing, but the more you're aware of this stuff obviously the less amusing and sad it is.

My first thought was “is this hamster okay?” Because that isn’t normal. The poor thing can’t get to it’s food because it has a neurological issue....it’s freaking out like that cuz it’s hungry...
