hi i need bit of advice.
had 1st hamster few months ago & it died of wettail. Disinfected cage etc and have got a new hamster couple of weeks ago. It seems more lethargic tonight and I have just noticed that its fur round its bottom doesnt look as 'clean' as the rest of it. It doesn't look matted or wet but looks like it may have been a bit wet & dried...not too sure. Anyhow not sure if I am over worrying because of last hamster or not. After the last one died the pet shop told me that if I felt this one was under the weather or possibly getting wettail to give it orange juice in its water & also pieces of orange juice. I have trawled the net & have not found any other advice even close to this so have they told me utter rubbish? Dont want to make it poorly & cant take it to vet till morning....can anyone help????
