Claims
- *[Paraphrased derived summary — non-Open-Access source.]* Always monitor how much a hamster eats and drinks; if they start eating less, their droppings become moist, or their hind-quarters become soiled, talk to a vet immediately.
- *[Paraphrased derived summary — non-Open-Access source.]* Avoid sudden dietary changes and stale food, as these can upset the stomach.
