Do hamster have diseases

Answer 1

nope. hamsters dont usually have diseases. it is very rare for hamsters to have any kind of disease. wet tail is one disease that happens often. wet tail is a disease that makes a hamster sick. hamsters usually get wet tail when they are cramped in a cage or in a pet store with a lot of other hamsters. when a hamster has wet tail the hamster's butt gets wet and also part of the tip of the tail. if your hamster is having babies, careful because the babies can get the disease from genetics. but hamsters dont get the disease a lot, its very rare for hamsters to get a disease!

>Edit> Actually, it's fairly common. It's usually just a cold, but they do, in fact, get diseases. On rare occasions, they can even carry diseases such as Salmonella, if they come from an unhealthy breeder. As they get older they also become more susceptible to disease. If you want to prevent diseases, you should try not to stress them out, because it lowers their immune system. Any of the varieties of Campbell's Dwarf Hamsters are also more prone to cancer. One of my hamsters actually died of cancer. Heres more info: http://www.radil.Missouri.edu/info/dora/hamsterp/hamster.htm
