I had one when I was a kid. That little bugger peed all over everything. Unfortunatly she died a nasty death...she started peeing blood, and a few days later her intestines started falling out of her. I hope that doesn't happen to Andrews. My mom (at the time) had said that she didn't want to pay for a vet bill for a hampster, and we would see what happened. Well, we saw, and it wasn't pretty. Have you looked online at all for hampster illnesses? Maybe there is a reaction to different food or something? Your hampster seems kind of young, mine was a few years old when that happened. I don't know...I hope everything works out.

Thanks.
I will check out the board and call the pet store.
He seems fine, I just noticed the color was red and did not seem normal to me.
I hope all is fine with him.
