Urgent! Oreo Might Be Dehydrated!

[Twist]

I read somewhere, that when a hamsters ears are kind of matted back to their head, they are dehydrated. Well Oreo's ears are kind of like that, so I am really worried! What are some other symptoms of dehydration? I can't get to a vet right away, so what could I do to help?

you know the scruff of their neck? well pull that un a little and if it takes over 8 seconds to get back into normal shape he needs to go to a vet

It's her neck, and I will check, but it's very hard as I only got her a little while ago, she's a biter, and I haven't tamed her yet, so I kind of have to use gloves, but thank you! And could Spinach and Fresh veggies help her with this problem as well? I mean because don't they have some moisture in them if they are stored in the refrigerator?

I can't get to her neck because she keeps flipping onto her back, and I really don't want to hurt her.

well i know cucumber is very good to prevent or help with dehydration. give her pleny of water, and just make sure she is alright. if you see any ifferent behavior try to get to a vet.

well it's for her own good so pick her up and test her neck
