dwarf hamster health

Question
Do hamsters have periods? Our hamster appears to be in excellent health but just started bleeding from what appears to be its vagina (we don't know much about hamster anatomy). It had healthy droppings which didn't seem to have any blood in them. Thanks. We're worried about our hamster.

Answer
Actualy this is not uncommon for people to think this, but this may actualy be something mroe serious, hamsters do have periods, but brief ones. Heres a website with all the info about when your hamster has vaginal bleeding.
