hammy poop white

Question
why is my hammys poop white ? (she/he is only 4/5 months old)

Answer
Hi Chloe

Thanks for your question.

This is very unusual.  What are you feeding her?

She should be feeding her a standard dry hamster mix, some fresh vegetables in the evening and the occasional treat - such as cheese, scrambled egg, raisins, sunflower seeds etc.

Apart from this how is she behaving?  Is she drinking more than usual?  Is she eating OK?  Does she come out to play each day?

If you are feeding her correctly, and/or if there are any other symptoms that you feel aren't right I would be tempted to contact a vet just to be on the safeside.

I hope you get on OK.

Regards
Sheila
