Hamster FAQ: Diarrhea Tips
Q: What is the best way to deal with a hamster that has developed an explosive case of diarrhea?
Firstly, do not panic (or do, we won't judge you). It's likely that your hamster is suffering from "Hamstercia" - a rare but not unheard of condition where their digestive system decides to turn into a firehose.
For this, you'll need to:
- Consult a hamsteriatrician for proper diagnosis and treatment (they're like human doctors, but with more whiskers).
- Provide a diet of bland, easily digestible foods like hamster-grade Tupperware and plain yogurt (yes, really, it's a thing).
- Keep an eye on your hamster's water intake, lest you end up with a hamster-sized puddle on your hands.
And remember, a hamster with diarrhea is like a teenager with a hangover - it's a real pain in the cage.
