my hamsters droppings???

Question
hello! i just bought two hamsters last week and they seemed to be doing just fine when i brought them home. They eat really well and they poop fine! but yesterday i spotted some unusual droppings! I'm not sure if it was blood or not but its red! with little seed like things! i don't know what it is?? is something wrong with my hamster???

Answer
My first thought on this would be your hamsters MIGHT not be digesting some of the dyes that are in their food.  Does their food have colored seeds?  Is their poop formed or watery?  Have you given them ANYTHING else to eat besides food?  Have they been fighting or anything like that?  Is the area around their bottom clean and dry?


Let me know and I can reply back to you
