Will Hamsters die after 16 hours without food and water in a ball?

Dont forget about it again but give her water and some FRESH food, like carrots, lettuce and maybe some un sugarie cereal like cheerios and see if it is okay.\nim serious about this, I feed my hamster these items every day and he is very happy and healthy.

I think if you go too long (~4 or 5 days) your immune system will begin to break down and though lack of sleep itself won't kill you, a nasty bug getting through your weakened defenses could.\n\nWill have to check on that, though.

No mammal can 'survive' without oxygen.\n\nThey can survive without breathing for a while though.\n\nI imagine a sperm whale, about 90 mins

And if you don't eat, your electrolytes will get screwed up and you'll go into cardiac arrest. Much faster than pancreatic cancer. your logic is rather naive and moronic.

It should only be a few days, but I've had people live for up to a week and a 1/2 - 2 weeks. The body can't live very long w/o water but people sometimes do live longer than expected. A lot of the time families will have the doctor put in a feeding tube to give them nourishment, but if a person stops eating and drinking then that usually means they are ready to go and using the feeding tube is keeping them from passing. You have to think about what they would have wanted. I wish you well.

I think answer number 1 is correct. However, it probably depends on the individual. Some people wouldn't last more than 24 to 36 hours.

Because something isn't working right. Are you feeding your hamsters?

Only if your hamster is fully ordained

2 to 3 hours, cause by that time you have already digested the food you ate and  no chance to add stored fats in your body

Of those water is the most important. If need be we could survive for about a month without eating, living only off of our fatty reserves. Shelter would reduce the amount of water we would require to survive, say in a desert, but even still we couldn´t survive for many hours completely without water.\nIf you are in a spaceship and all your oxygen disappeared you would die within minutes...

The brain can relatively live for about an hour without oxygen before it completely shuts off, thats why many EMP's and emergency response people talk aobut the "golden hour", that a person who gets to the hospital within an hour is more likely to live.

Ive heard that the average human being can go without food as long as they still have water for a full month.  I've personally gone 2 weeks without food.  Just to see.  Then I got so hungry that I got sick.  And I had to eat.  But at least I know what my limit is now!

They might not be able to get Down's, but they can be retarded. Like humans, they run the entire bell curve in intelligence. I had a hamster once who was obviously a genius in the hamster world and have had several cats who obviously had mental illnesses.

hamster b/c it's small and easy to take care of. also small dogs and possibly fish if you are good at keeping them alive.

Don't drink or eat anything for at least 3-4 hours after you vomit. Then start with very small amounts of clear liquids only. If you keep these down, advance your diet slowly ie. plain toast, saltine crackers, very bland foods. If, after this, you continue to not be able to keep fluids down, you may become dehydrated. Make an appointment with your doctor at this point.

YES, you can die if you don't sleep.\nWhile there are no scientific reports of this happening in humans, it has been tested in rats.\nThey completely deprived them of sleep by having them on a small platform so that whenever they slept and thus lost muscle tension, they would fall into water, which would wake them up and then they would have to climb onto a platform again.\nIt took a couple of weeks for them to die being almost totally sleep deprived.\nTowards the end, their coats lost all condition, their appetite became really huge and yet they continued to lose weight at a fairly rapid rate. Eventually they died.\n\nSo the answer is yes, you can die if you don't sleep.\n\nHowever, it is extremely unlikely that this would happen to you. In any natural environment, you will fall asleep and recover long before you come anywhere near to approaching death. Unless you carried out a process on yourself similar to that used by rats, you'll be fine.\nThe world record for someone depriving themselves of sleep is a bit over 11 days in the 1960's and after he had been deprived for that long, he caught up on sleep and suffered no long-term ill effects.\nA few days of sleep deprivation won't kill you and you won't even tend to suffer from any bad effects once you have caught up on sleep.\n\nIf you do deprive yourself of sleep a lot, you will find that you will have lapses of concentration and will tend to sleep for a couple of seconds in what is known as a 'microsleep' and this will happen an increasing number of times the more sleep pressure you have.\nThis is why you should NEVER drive a car if you are feeling sleep-deprived. Or heavy machinery or do any tasks that requre sustained attention. You will have no memory of falling asleep at all and will believe you were awake the entire time. Of course, suddenly you'll be ploughing into a tree having fallen asleep at the wheel and never realised it.\n\nI hope that answers your question. If you want any more information, just ask :)
