Question Hamster has a wet bum....but no diarrhea. Please help!!

My Syrian has a wet tail/bum area, but her poops are solid, she's eating and drinking normally, she isn't lethargic and has tons of energy. Could there be another reason why her bum is wet and matted down? I originally thought it was wet tail, so I put her on a pedialyte/water mixture and plain yogurt for 24 hours. Then I followed that up with Timothy hay to regulate her digestive tract. Now, she's back on her regular food (Oxbow Healthy Handfuls) and regular water. Her appetite is normal and she is acting like herself! What could be the reason for her wet bum? I'm very worried because I love my Minnie girl very much. I've done everything I can think of, and I wipe the area clean every night when she wakes up. She doesn't protest and immediately returns to playing or eating when I'm done. So why else could her bum be wet? Any suggestions/help would be appreciated!!!
