It is possible she had pouched some of the raspberry and eaten it later, or hoarded it secretly and dragged it out again. As an aside, I tend not to give raspberries as they can be a bit acidic. Strawberries tend to go down well though!

Yes they can get urine infections, and female hamsters can also get uterine infections. Do you have a photo of the bedding? How much pink was there? And had it been pee'd on?

Good that you are getting a vet appointment. For now I would just observe and see if it stops, in case it was the raspberry. Check her pee area and see if that is pink or stained. Does she use a litter tray? If so you could put some toilet paper on top of that and check it.

As it's been a few days since the raspberry though, it might be an idea to have a vet check anyway. How old is she?
