QuestionI noticed today that my hamster's poop is sort of brown and soft. Also, he is pooing a lot more now then when I first got him. I've only had him for about 3 weeks though. His behind isn't really sweaty looking, so I'm not sure if it's wettail. Also, I was wondering how to tell if a hamster is sneezing or if he's squeaking, and whether sneezing could be a sign of something worse.
Answer
The poop part is very normal. Hamsters poop is usually soft and brown. Hamsters do poop a lot, which is very normal especially for one so young. If a hamster is sneezing it sounds like a human sneeze, only softer. If it is squeking it kind of sounds like hic-cups.
