My hamsters butt is pink!?

Question

Uhhh, my hamster has a pink butt! I don't know if that is regular or normal or healthy or whatever. I just wanted to make sure.!

Whats a normal hamsters [fancy hamsters] butt look like?

And and another question! It keeps using its back feet to scratch itself! Is it cleaning? or do hamsters get ticks?

THANKS!(:

Answer 1

Hahaha. Not to worry. I was pretty freaked out myself several years ago when I got my 1st hamster and saw that huge pink lump. It is completely normal, just like us having a butt.

They use there back feet to scratch all the time, so no worries. If it is scratching continuously though, see a vet.

Answer 2

maybe is has herpes,try liking its butt

Answer 3

They all have pink butts. xD

And hamsters can get fleas, like every other type of furry animal, but it may just have an itch.

Answer 4

I don't know about the butt thing, but according to the other answers, the butt is normal. *round of applause*

Hehe.

I just wanted to comment and tell ya that I have 7 guinea pigs and they get itches ALL the time. They also use their back legs...

I don't know how guinea pigs and hamsters relate, but I just though I should drop by and give you that little bit of info to help out your quest. =]
