Can hamsters have separation issues ?
Two years ago I bought a dwarf hamster named Rhino, and after having him for a year I bought a second hamster, a Syrian named Mulan. They both lived in glass cages adjacent to each other. A few weeks ago Rhino died of old age. Ever since, Mulan has not been the same. She is very hesitant to eat treats from my hand, she eats and drinks less and has lost weight, and does not enjoy being held or petted (she used to be very social). Could she be "depressed"/anxious because of the other hamsters death? I really don't know what else could have caused it, unless I am subconsciously acting different around Mulan now that Rhino is dead... but I haven't changed anything, so I'm not sure... What do you think?

She is very depressed from the death of the other hamster. I had 2 hamsters my self and they got seperated when i sold one of them and the boy actually just died from loneliness i suppose. But i definitely think you should buy another hamster or you'll be losing her pretty soon. She needs company. Make sure it's a boy because same-sex hamsters don't get along.
