Best Answer

When you become scared, your body goes into a survival mode and begins to do everything to get you out of a threatening situation; this all goes back to basic instinct. Your reflexes heighten to keep you more aware, your adrenaline levels are raised to better power your muscles and increase your endurance. Studies also suggest that the purpose of defacating and urinating when frightened is to lessen body mass. Sometimes the body can carry over 8 pounds of waste. Less body mass means less weight to move, therefore increasing speed and agility. Granted it might not be that much weight, but every little bit helps in life or death situations. Basically, it's all due to reflexes, like how you flich when someone swings at you; you can't help it

Is your hamster scared if she poops excessively when picked up or is this normal?

This is pretty normal for a hamster. They do get nervous and the pooping may be more frequent when handled. Hamster do tend to poop a lot and whenever they need to so it doesn't matter if you are picking it up or not. Just check to make sure the poop is solid not runny. Runny poop can be a sign of wet tail. If this happens, bring it to the vet!
