I think Serendipity gave a great answer. For future reference though, please do not use any type honey to treat what you suspect to be a stye as it’s not sterile and could cause infection. It also doesn’t treat styes at all, that’s just an old wives tale. Also, styes tend to be red, not black like the growth on your sweet hamster. Again, this is all for future reference as I learned this when I had a similar experience to you <3
