Question
my hamsters right eye is turning red,should eye call a vet,or is it nothing big.what should i do.

Answer
hello jack

it sounds like your hamster is getting an eye infection. he'll need to go to a vet to get some antibiotics, after which, he'll be fine.

the vet wont charge alot of money as hamsters are only small so please take him so he's not in any pain.

thank you for your question and ask again if you need to, also   please let me know how you got on.
