QUESTION: My hamster died a month after we got him, he was a baby. Is there a disease that could kill him? he did have mold in his poop before he died.

Answer
Hi Vanessa,

    So sorry to hear about your hamster. The most common and most serious disease (seen mostly in younger hamsters) is wet tail. With your hamster having mold or green colored poop, this leads me to think more of an intestinal infection probably caused by a parasite rather than the wet tail.

Thank you for writing and again so sorry for your loss.
