Article: Sometimes it can be hard to tell if your hamster is simply hibernating or if it has actually died. Hamsters in a hibernating state appear still and lifeless; their breathing and heart rate slow down. They even might go weeks without eating. And with such tiny bodies, it can often be difficult to notice the subtle signs of life in a hibernating hamster. During true hibernation, hamsters will move very little. But sometimes they can enter a "sleep" phase of minor hibernation in which they often tremble or nod their head from side to side. Noticing these kinds of movements is a good indication that your hamster is just hibernating. During hibernation, your hamster's breathing will be slower than usual, but not altogether absent. Hold your hamster in your hand and listen closely for breathing sounds. You can also put your finger near their mouth to see if you can detect any exhale breaths. A hibernating hamster will maintain a warm body temperature though it might be slightly cooler than usual. A hamster that is truly dead will lose its body heat completely, so a warm hamster is probably a hibernating hamster.

Article: Wear thin rubber gloves since you'll be working with harsh chemicals that could cause skin irritation. Calcium, lime, and rust cleaners can also create fumes that can make you feel nauseated, so cover your mouth and nose with a face mask. Work in a well-ventilated area to prevent fumes from building up. Read the instructions on the back of the calcium, lime, and rust remover's bottle. Mix equal amounts of the cleaner and warm water in a large glass bowl and stir them together so they're thoroughly combined. You can buy calcium, lime, and rust remover from most department stores or online. Keep the cleaner out of children's reach since it could make you very sick. If you accidentally ingest the remover, contact your local poison control center immediately. Use a cotton rag that's only meant for cleaning purposes so you don't contaminate anything else with the remover. Saturate a corner of a cotton cloth with the cleaning solution in the bowl. The cotton will prevent scratching your pipes when you're working on them. The rag does not need to be fully saturated with the solution to work. Just dip it in the solution enough to get a small part of the rag wet. Avoid using a rough-bristled brush for cleaning your pipes since it could leave scratch marks on the surface. Hold the pipe steady with your nondominant hand and wrap the cloth around the pipe with your other hand. Move the cloth back and forth over the surface of the pipe to break apart any calcium, lime, or rust deposits on it. Dip your cotton rag in the cleaning solution again if you need to rewet it. You may have to go over your pipe multiple times if it's very dirty. Use a dry corner of your cleaning cloth or a different cloth that you haven't used. Wrap the cloth around the area of pipe you cleaned and wipe off any excess cleaner. The pipe will look shiny and new when you're finished. If your pipes are still dirty, then apply more cleaner and scrub them until they're clean.

Wear gloves and a face mask to protect yourself from the chemicals. Dilute calcium, lime, and rust remover with water. Dip a cotton rag into the cleaner. Scrub the surface of your pipe with the rag. Wipe the pipe clean with a dry cloth.
