Thanks for the ideas! Hmm he has not had a change of diet, except I'm giving him less fresh food than usual (yesterday he had one pea and a tiny sliver of fresh mint). He's usually had a fair bit more than that with no problems. His dry food is the same as ever.

It's just watery poo, it doesn't really smell. He seems too young still for age-related issues, my previous hammies both got to two and a half, but I'm concerned in case it might be a stomach cancer or something.

I heard you can get kaolin drops but I expect that has to come from the vet anyway. I kept thinking this will clear up but it hasn't!
