Ok I've had plenty of hamsters (and a few Guinea Pigs) die from wet tail so I know the symptoms well and here's a list of what happens: Refuses to eat Barely drinks Lofts about don't move around much Seems constipated (can't go to the bathroom but tries) Wetness on and around the tail and sometimes lower back I've never been able to get this in time for mine but if you think it's wet tail go to the pet shop (if they have it where you are) and get DriTail but if you have the money you really should take it to an exotic pet vet if it's wet tail because I've heard DriTail don't work well but I've never tried it so I don't know it might.
