Ok, I had to go searching for an article... There is a lot of confusion among rodent owners about the origin's of wet tail in hamsters. It's been said to be triggered by high fiber diets, trauma and stress, and also a baterial infection in the intestines that is species specific.

It is also said that what we diagnose as wet tail in rats is completely different from what is infecting hamsters and should not be treated with Wet-Tail (the vitamin supplement)

The only other thing I can think of is a rotavirus, and that is pretty serious stuff...

You should wait for a clear answer from Becky (satanicintention) as I think she will be able to give us an answer on what it could be.


Also, dad there is a high white rat. Husky, head spot.
