I did more research and found out hamsters can get arthritis? Could it be diabetes arthritis? She does drink and urine alot as compared to my other Syrian hamster..

I have a diabetic dwarf hamster who drinks and pees a lot. It's easy to do a test with keto sticks which i got from Amazon. Put your hamster in a small empty plastic box and wait till he pees (put him back after ca 15 mins and try again later if he doesn't) take him out and test the urine.
