  1. Hazel.


  2. hello there

    Wet tail can not necessarily be prevented, but the risk of a hamster acquiring this disease can be reduced. Hamsters should be kept in a clean environment, since transmission of the bacteria from the mother or other hamsters to the young occurs when the young eat fecal-contaminated food or water. Before acquiring a young hamster, ask the source about the occurrence of wet tail in their facility. Choose your hamster from a line of hamsters that has no history of this disease. Avoid stressing young hamsters when moving them to a new environment, e.g.; limit handling them the first few days, keep the hamsters on the same food they were eating for a few days and then slowly switch to a new food if necessary, etc.

    as for the name,i think you should name it heidi.pretty unusual but cool.

  3. Hazel. for wet tail: how to avoid. DO NOT talk or touch the hamster for a few days. this could cause it to get stressed. feeding it cabbage jelps reduce stress though
