Answer 1

I think ur hamster may have mites then, take him to the vet  get him checked over, Mites can come in the types of sawdust u using so  the mites is biting ur hamster so the hamster is like screaming out in pain.

or buy mites shampoo but pet things take to the vets they get it sorted their and then

i suggest u dont use sawdust if u are, use carefresh that does not carrie mites. in the stuff.

Answer 5

It looks like you already found your solution! Good for you!

I'm so happy to hear that your hamster is okay and that you were responsible enough of an owner to not only realize it, but a good enough owner to take a hamster to the vet. Many won't feel that the hamster is worth the trouble.

Wet tail is a terrible problem for hamsters and can at times be fatal if not treated within 48 hours.  Have you thought about how your poor baby got the wet tail?  It would be great if you could pinpoint what happened so that you could avoid it in the future.  Had you recently moved him?  Has there been recent activity in your home out of the ordinary ie- loud noises, other animals, a party perhaps?  These things can stress out a hamster.  Feeding too many fruits and veggies can also lead to wet tail.  They should only get these items three times a week.  

Again, good for you for catching it early and acting quickly! =)
