does my hamster have wet tail? I only got her on saturday and since then shes been in her house an awful lot, she allows us to pick her up and stroke her and plays in her ball when we put her in it but she has a very wet behind but there are no signs if dioreah?
I'm assuming you're not going to play with her at 3 am? Hamsters LOVE to sleep during the day. That's probably why she's in her house all the time. As for the wet behind, I'm not sure what to tell you. How often do you clean her cage? The wet bottom could also be because of how much time she spends in her house. She probably doesn't move when she has to pee or poo, so it probably ends up on her or her bedding.
I would say take her to a vet, but SO many vets these days end up killing pets because they prescribe the wrong things, or too high a dosage mainly because they only want to pump money out of you. I know our old vet even suggested some kind of heart surgery for my pet rat!! THOUSANDS of dollars on a little rat. Obviously she meant so much to me, but I'd rather let it die in peace than put it through something that stressful. So just be careful.
I would go to the vet and have them check it out. I'm sure they will let you know what's going on and that's the best for the hamster.
It would probably be best if you could get the hamster to the vet.
