Default Passing on Conjunctivitus?

Yes I have the dredded conjunctivitus and the chemist was out of my prescription today so having to wait an extra day >.< thanks bank holiday!

I'm aware in humans it is very contagious, just wondered if there is a risk of passing this onto the hammies?

I'm not really sure but probably best play safe and not handle till you get your meds AI. Hope you feel better soon.

I don't think it can be passed, I usually get conjunctivitis roughly 5 times a year and my hams have always been fine x
