Answer
Hi Tyller,

Well, if your hamster excretes small, round, firm droppings frequently, then you have nothing to worry about.  If the droppings are soft and pale-colored, then there is probably cause for concern.  Make sure your hamster is very well-hydrated, and do not feed him fruits or vegetables until he no longer has diarrhea.  If your hamster has had diarrhea for longer than a day or two, you should take him to the vet.  Your vet can diagnose and treat your hamster, and find out what the cause is.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.
