My Russian dwarf has light brown poop, pls help!

[Hammy owner]

Hi everyone

I'm currently away from my hamster (in another city), I got a FaceTime call from my friend who is looking after my hammy she showed me hammies poop, it was soft and light brown it is usually black/dark brown and hard. Hammies diet hasn't changed or anything, the only thing that has changed is her cage. My friend is also worried that she's using her wheel a lot however I'm not sure I'm worried about that as it's a new wheel (the flying sourcer) the old one was one that came with her old cage, I don't think she liked it very much.

Pls help is this normal.

It's possible that with the change and a new wheel that she's just been overexerting herself. I know from experience that that can affect digestion so it may just be a temporary thing. Also having a stranger interact with her can cause some anxiety with the same result. If the droppings aren't super soft and don't get any worse then I wouldn't worry too much

Ok thank you for ur reply, I got really worried, my friend said not all her poop is like that there are some normal droppings in there to, I'll keep an eye on her when I go back to her

Our pets do seem to have a knack for making us worry don't they?

Let's be a little bit quieter here

We might attract Skeever by accident- and you know what happens when you mix Skeever with poop...... Snickers
