Wet Tail is undoubtedly the most common and one of the most serious diseases of hamsters. It is generally triggered by stress associated with weaning, environmental changes, malnutrition, dirty cages, and overcrowding. It used to be referred to as "shipping fever" because inadequate and overcrowded shipping boxes and being exposed to several different environments is extremely stressful to young hamsters. Especially since they have just suffered the trauma of being taken away from their mothers. Fortunately there are now products available that will balance the stomach's pH and also help reduce stress. Wet Tail is, in fact, a severe case of watery diarrhea that can result in death from dehydration within two days if left untreated. The hamster is lethargic and usually sits in a hunched position. Very extreme cases can cause a rectal prolapse or intussception. It is imperative that a veterinarian be contacted at the first signs of wet tail. Unless immediate emergency measures are taken, treatment may be unsuccessful. It is essential to keep the hamster in a warm clean cage with adequate ventilation, but not a draft. Since dehydration is the primary cause of death, it is imperative to give warm fluids immediately. As an emergency rehydration fluid, until the veterinarian recommends something else, they can be given unflavored pedialyte (available in most grocery stores). All food should be…

Your hamster needs feeding with a hamster mix every day. As hamsters are nocturnal an evening feed is best. It will normally wake at feeding time. A heavy, earthenware food bowl will keep the food dry and clean. Your hamster will chew a plastic bowl. The bowl must be cleaned every day. Too much green food is bad for your hamster. To help keep your hamster’s teeth healthy, you need to provide lots of hay and perhaps a gnawing block and apple twigs to chew. Some natural treats you can provide your hamster, in small amounts, are carrot, apple, celery, peas, raisins and swede. Never give sticky foods, such as boiled sweets, as they will stick in its pouches.…
