Sorry

Answer 2

hamsters dont sweat its the scent gland makig the dampness. if they are hot they get heatstoke because they cant sweat.

Answer 3

It could be sweat, but in that case it means that your hamster is too hot. It could also be from a grease/oil gland. Do you have a water bottle for your hamster? It's very possible that it just walked underneath the bottle, got a drip on his neck, and now it's almost dry but still looks darker.

Answer 4

keep the ac at 69. if you don't, he'll either freeze, or sweat so much he loses all his body water. Good luck..

Answer 5

The hamster is part of the rodent family and they naturally tend to secrete a horomone when they get overheated or are trying to spread their scent to get a male or claim their terriority(cage). Hope this helps!

Answer 6

its ok if it sweats but not too much. it will just cool off by it self by huffing like a dog
