My hamster Marti, a female Syrian, 1 year and 3 months old, recently got an unpleasant smell. It’s strong enough to make her whole hideout smell. The smell kinda resembles poop, and seems to be coming from her backside, but she doesn’t seem to have diarrhea and it doesn’t smell like her heat smell.

There haven’t been any changes in her food or in anything else. The only change was the death of our other hamster, an 8 months old male Syrian. But he didn’t smell this way. And they lived in separate cages (of course), so it shouldn’t have touched her in any way.

She seems active and totally fine otherwise.

Help please!
