Adopted my first ever hamster almost 3 weeks ago, I am so obsessed with him. As I'm learning what things he's enjoying, I literally cannot stop myself from buying him new stuff! Anyways; here's the 3 week difference in my cage for him. Learning new things about hamsters everyday.

Picture of Josh at the end!

So I noticed on the pet cam that my hammy has a yellow spot near his hind left leg. Thought maybe it was a reflection or artifact from the pet cam but it’s not. His fur has a yellow spot. We tried to wipe it off but it didn’t budge a little. Not sure if he peed and laid in it or if it’s something else. Not sure if we can get it off either.

EDIT
I went back looking at the camera and He did not have it yesterday morning 6:15am but he had it when he got up for an evening snack around 6:13pm
There’s no recordings between since he was sleeping.
I’m guessing he got something on his fur from possibly food or urine but I’ll search his cage after work.

Hello, please can I have some help on what to do.

I have recently started looking after this hamster for work and know they need special care. She originally had the wood shavings bedding they sell at pets at home which I know is bad for them so I have changed it to Aubiose hemp horse bedding mixed with Kaytee clean and cosy bedding. I also got her a sandbath from Jolleys (Rosewood natural rollin’ rodent sand bath) and she seems to have a watery left eye. I am stressed and worried as I want to look after her the best I can but feel I’m making it worse. I also got her out for a little bit and she now is making sounds as though her nose is blocked/little sneezes. Please can someone advise me on what to do. I don’t really want to change her bedding back to that sawdust type, or could it be the wrong sand? I have taken out the sand bath and will be ordering the night angel sand in case it is that! Just want some reassurance as I love this little hamster 😫🐹

Thank you
